60-year-old woman accused of shooting ex-boyfriend sparks SWAT standoff on Southside: JSO

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A 60-year-old woman barricaded herself inside a unit at the Windsor Falls Condominiums on Jacksonville’s Southside for hours Tuesday after police said she shot her ex-boyfriend in the shoulder.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office SWAT unit was called to the scene to try to get the woman to come out. Eventually, the woman emerged and was taken into custody, JSO said.

The 60-year-old man was taken to a local hospital and is expected to recover.

Police said the incident began with a reported shooting just before 9 a.m. on Snowy Canyon Drive.

The complex where the woman was in the standoff with police is next door to the U.S. Social Security Administration offices off Bonneval Road.

The entire area was completely blocked off on both sides by police, so drivers had to find another route to get home.
