JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – At least two people were shot Monday afternoon at an Amazon Fulfillment Center on Jacksonville’s Northside, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
The shooting happened around 2 p.m. on Pecan Park Road.
It’s unclear if the shooting happened inside or outside of the facility.
Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department said two people were injured in the shooting and one has critical injuries. Sources told News4Jax at least one person has died.
A photo that was taken by an Amazon employee and sent to News4Jax appears to show shattered glass in one of the break rooms. The employee said it was caused by a bullet.
Emergency crews and crime scene tape filled the parking lot of the fulfillment center following the shooting.
What appeared to be a JSO helicopter was seen circling above the facility and the wooded area nearby.
People claiming to be family members of Amazon employees at the facility said on social media that employees have been placed on lockdown inside.
JSO is expected to hold a press conference to give more details on the shooting at some point Monday evening.
