JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A 19-year-old was arrested for aggravated battery against his brother after a SWAT team investigated in a Southside neighborhood for more than six hours.
Nathan Blake was found near Fort Caroline and Rogero Road in Arlington, after police got a tip. He is charged with shooting his brother in the Countryside Village neighborhood on Beach Boulevard.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office was called to the 10900 block of Beach Boulevard near Anniston Road around 9:20 a.m. after reports of a domestic shooting.
SWAT team members were in the neighborhood for hours working to learn if the suspect was still at the house. The person shot had injuries that were not considered life-threatening. He was treated at the hospital and has already been released.
Heat was a big factor for Countryside Village residents as they waited to get to their homes.
Our crew saw one woman treated for heat exposure and several babies fell ill.
The complex manager bought cases of water and passed them out and two JTA busses were brought in to serve as cooling stations.
Parents of students who live in the Countryside Village neighborhood were instructed to pick up their children at Windy Hill Elementary School as the SWAT team investigated.
