At about 2:11 p.m., GPD officers responded to the area after receiving calls about a person being shot. Officers found an adult male with a gunshot wound, and he was transported to UF Health Shands hospital. The suspect has not been located.

Investigators are at the scene investigating this incident. Anybody with information regarding this incident is asked to please call 352-955-1818.

  • This area is known for it’s high population of Mexican immigrants.. Perhaps one of them knows who the shooter is.

    • No. I was listening earlier. About 2:15, shots fired by Lapasadita and the barber shop. 33 yr old, shot both legs, trauma alerted & controlled bleeding on scene. The description of vehicle was a black Audi, tinted windows and dark (possibly black rims). Nissan Altima may have been involved and possibly 3 suspects. They switched to another channel so public couldn’t hear. They had witnesses of the incident, so maybe information changed from what I heard reported.

      • Scanner traffic should never be assumed factual. It isn’t half the time. Technically one is breaking the law telling folks what they heard on the scanner. Not coming at you, just giving tips. 🙂

        • If 32609 was listening on public airwaves on a scanner, how on earth is that breaking the law? I presume that 32609 is just a citizen, and not law enforcement on some private channel, but I could be wrong.

          • Telling people what you hear on the scanner is against the law. I’m sure the law is not enforced but it is a old law. 😉

    • yet again this JOKE of a publication has NO PROBLEM with blatantly racist comments despite pretending to filter through them

  • Wow, I was in the area about 300pm and was wondering what all the flashing lights were about…

  • Business as usual in the city. Recon all those gun symposiums, mentor programs didn’t cut the mustard.
    With the rate GPD is arresting & firing officers, won’t be long there won’t be a po-lice department.

  • You know this country has went down the toilet when your comment on here gets rejected for using ghetto and disagreement in the same sentence, what a absolute joke!

    • If you don’t like this country you can always move somewhere else 🙂

  • Stay frosty people, dont let yourself be caught in the crossfire in Little Compton, I mean Gainesville.
