“I observed the children running in fear,” the woman said. “It was chaotic. The parents were in fear and afraid. It was sad. When you see it and you hear it. It hits the heart of a mother. A mother who has lost their child to a crime.” Detectives are searching for a light-colored SUV that was involved in the drive-by shooting outside the school. Police say someone shot the teen as he was walking on the sidewalk.Anyone with information on this shooting should contact JSO at 904-630-0500 or First Coast Crime Stoppers at 866-845-TIPS.
