Several reports say that a Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO) officer was shot Tuesday night outside the Baptist Medical Center.
Authorities have put the Baptist Health Hospital on hold while they look into what happened. People at the hospital, both patients and workers, are said to be okay.
This is still going on, and the officials have not yet said anything about the officer’s health or what happened when he was shot.
Baptist Health says that a strange person was seen outside of the Baptist Medical Center hospital, so an off-duty police officer on campus was called. This meant that JSO had to be called in to help out.
Details about what happened are still coming out, and Action News Jax is at the scene of the crime to find out more.
So far, JSO hasn’t said anything about what happened, but hospital staff have reported that the shooting happened outside the building.
