The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and Duval County School Police continue to investigate a shooting outside a football game. It happened Friday night after the game at First Coast High School.
Action News Jax spoke with a mother whose son plays for First Coast High School, she said she has some safety concerns moving forward. It comes after JSO and DCPS said they got word about potential fights earlier in the day, which happened, adding they already added extra security for the game.
DCPS Police Chief Greg Burton said a decision was made to end the game early around the 3rd quarter because of fighting. Stacey S. is a football mother, who’s son plays for FCHS and saw fights firsthand. It is tremendously disappointing that community violence has impacted one of our high school football games. I am very thankful for the plan that our police put in place in partnership with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. That plan and the contingent of officers present very likely prevented a larger tragedy from occurring, and I commend all of the law enforcement officers who were at the game. I also commend the principals of the two schools who made the decision to conclude the game early.
