JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Two shootings and an armed robbery were reported across three fast-food restaurants in Jacksonville over the weekend, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
The two shootings, each of which left one person injured, happened at two McDonald’s locations across town — one in Oceanway and the other on Town Center Parkway. The armed robbery was reported at a Domino’s on Cassat Avenue.
The first incident happened on Saturday around 2:10 p.m., when JSO officers responded to a McDonald’s restaurant on North Main Street, near New Berlin Road.
According to JSO, when officers arrived, they found a man with one gunshot wound to the neck, and he was transported to a nearby hospital.
The investigation later revealed that the man, who works at McDonald’s, got into a physical fight with another co-worker in the back of the business.
During that fight, the co-worker brandished a firearm and shot the man one time in the neck.
The suspect and another person then ran away from the business, but were detained by police a short time later.
The victim, who is in his early 20s, was critically injured but in stable condition, JSO said on Saturday night.
The second incident was reported on Sunday evening, when JSO said they were investigating an armed robbery at a Domino’s on Cassat Avenue.
Several JSO vehicles and a Crime Scene Unit van were seen in front of the establishment.
