The second happened along Newton Road on Jacksonville’s Southside, a block west of Southside Boulevard near Brackridge Park.
Two children -- a boy and a girl -- were taken to different hospitals around 7:45 p.m. Tuesday and both were listed in stable condition. The girl, who was shot in the thighs, was taken to Wolfson Children’s Hospital. The boy was sent to Memorial Hospital. The police report did not indicate where he was injured.
Police did not say how old the children were.
Investigators said they don’t have any information on the shooter but said “an altercation occurred” before the shooting.
Less than an hour earlier, two women in their 40s walked into a local hospital with gunshot wounds that police said were not life-threatening.
Police don’t know when or where the shooting itself happened and again had no information on a shooter.
Detectives are still looking into both of these cases.
