JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — LATEST: Witness to shooting: 'It sounded like automatic weapons ... it was rapid gunfire'
One woman was killed and another was injured in a shooting near Kings Road and Myrtle Avenue on Thursday night.
Police got a call of multiple shots fired in the area around 9:36 p.m., according to Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Sgt. Chuck Ford. The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department responded too.
When police arrived, they found two women had been shot; both were taken to UF Health Jacksonville, where one died and one was in surgery and her condition was unknown, Ford said.
