Jacksonville – Two men were shot early Sunday morning outside Tipsy Bar and Grill located on Edgewood Avenue during a violent altercation that followed closing time. The incident took place around 3:40 a.m. and has left one man in critical condition while the other is currently in stable condition.
Reports indicate that a fight broke out among a large crowd just after the bar closed. One of the victims, a man in his 30s, was shot multiple times and required immediate surgery due to the severity of his injuries. Another man, also in his 30s, managed to make his way to the hospital shortly after the incident and is receiving treatment for his injuries but is reported to be in stable condition.
As of now, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO) has not made any arrests and has not identified any suspects related to the shooting. Police are actively investigating the case but have noted that they have not received any witness statements as of Sunday morning.
