Authorities locked down Northwestern Middle School in Jacksonville as a precaution after a 15-year-old was shot in the area Wednesday afternoon, police said.
Officers responded to the 2100 block of West 43rd Street about 2 p.m. after the shooting was reported, police said. The victim suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the arm.
Neighbors provided conflicting information about the shooting, so investigators are trying to determine the exact location of the incident, police said.
