He was taken to an area hospital, where his injuries were listed as non-life-threatening and he was last reported in a stable condition.
JSO said investigators learned the man was sitting inside his garage, when two men -- one heavy set and the other skinny -- walked up to him.
They spoke briefly before the two men started shooting and then also stabbed the man in the garage.
“At this time, investigators believe the incident is isolated, but the suspects are still outstanding,” JSO said in a news release about the attack.
Investigators said the attackers were in a black or dark gray SUV, which drove off in an unknown direction.
Detectives with the Robbery and Violent Crime Unit are actively interviewing witnesses, canvassing for surveillance video, and following up on investigative leads.
The community’s assistance is critical in this investigation, JSO said.
