HEARTBREAKING TO BE OUT HERE AS
THESE FAMILY MEMBERS WERE

LATER WE GOT ONTO FACEBOOK LIVE

HAPPENING.
AND MANY OF YOU COMMENTING
SAYING JUST HOW HORRIFIC THIS IS
AND HOW JACKSONVILLE NEEDS TO
MAKE CHANGES.
AND OF COURSE A LOT OF THOSE
FAMILY MEMBERS AGREED.
THEY WERE JUST HERE RECEIVING
THE NEWS AS THEY TOLD YOU.
AND THEM -- JSO H THIS BLOCKED
OFF FOR MAYBE ABOUT AN HOUR AS
THEY WORKED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
WAS GOING O IN THESE
APARTMENTS.
A LOT OF THE FAMILY MEMBERS WERE
PARKED HERE LONG THE APARTME
COMPLEX, AND A LOT OF THEM JUST
GETTING OUT, JUST REACTING TO
WHAT JSO WAS TELLING THEM.
THIS IS RIGHT NEAR U.S. HEALTH.
WE'RE JUST AROUND THE CORNER.
WE'RE TOLD WHAT HAPPENED WAS
AFTER 1:00 JSO RECEIVED A CALL
OF SHOTS FIRED AT THE
APARTMENTS.
WHEN THEY GOT TO THE APARTMENTS,
ONE OF THE CHILDREN HAD ALREADY
DIED ON SCENE.
THE OTHER WAS THEN RUSHED TO
U.S. HEALTH WHICH I SAID IS
RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FROM
THESE APARTMENTS.
AND THAT CHILD TAKEN TO THE
HOSPITAL HAS
NON-LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES.
WE'RE TOLD THE SHOOTING HAPPENED
INSIDE OF THE APARTMENTS.
MULTIPLE PEOPLE SAID TO BE
INSIDE OF THE APARTMENTS AT THE
TIME WHEN IT HAPPENED.
AND JSO HAS TAKEN SEVERAL OF
THOSE PEOPLE INTO CUSTODY TO BE
INTERVIEWED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED
HERE AND HOW THE GUN GOT INTO
THE CHILDREN'S POSSESSION.
NOW, WE DO NOT KNOW THE
CHILDREN'S NAMES, SEX OR
ANYTHING ABOUT THEM JUST YET
BECAUSE OF COURSE THIS IS STILL
VERY EARLY ON IN THE
INVESTIGATION.
BUT WE DID, AS ETHAN MENTIONED,
SPEAK TO A GRAND MOTHER OF ONE
OF THOSE VICTIMS SAID TO BE ONE
YEARS OLD.
SHE SAID IT'S JUST TOUGH TO TAKE
THIS IN.
SHE SAID THOSE INVOLVED SHOULD
NOT BE JUDGED.
>> I FEEL HORRIBLE FOR THEM.
IT'S A HORRIBLE THING.
ANYBODY'S FAMILY TO HAVE TO GO
THROUGH.
ANYBODY ASSOCIATED WITH ANYBODY
THAT KNOWS ANYBODY, YOU KNOW?
PEOPLE WILL SIT AROUND AND HAVE
THEIR OWN PERCEPTIONS ABOUT WHAT
THEY FEEL, THIS ONE DID OR THAT
ONE DID OR HOW THIS SHOULD GO OR
THAT SHOULD GO, BUT YOU CAN'T
SAY THAT UNTIL YOU'RE IN THA
SITUATION.
DECEMBER DECEMBER NOW AS.
>> DESTINY: NOW AS YOU'RE
TAKING A LIVE LOOK, A LOT OF JSO
UNITS BACKED DOWN FROM THE
APARTMENTS WHERE I'M THINKING
THIS HAPPENED.
THEY'RE STILL INVESTIGATING
RIGHT NOW.
THEY HAVE CONTACTED THE
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILIES AND
CHILDREN AS WELL AS THE CHILD
PROTECTION TEAM TO ASSIST IN THE
DECISION.
SO OFFICERS TELL US THEY'LL BE
HERE ALL NIGHT WORKING
THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT TO GATHER
MORE EVIDENCE AND FIGURE OUT HOW
THESE GUNS GOT INTO THE
CHILDREN'S POSSESSIONS.
OF COURSE, WE'RE GOING TO BE OUT
HERE, AS WELL. WE'RE GOING TO
BE SPEAKING TO MORE FAMILY
MEMBERS WORKING TO FIGURE OUT
MORE FROM THEM ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENED HERE.
AND OF COURSE WE'LL BRING YOU
THE LATEST AT 10 AND 11.

>> Ethan: DESTINY, IS THERE AN
IDEA HOW THE IDEAS CAN GOT AHOLD
OF THE GUN?
>> DESTINY: ETHAN, I DID
MENTION THAT WE DO NOT KNOW THAT

WE DID ASK THAT QUESTION, HOW
DID THEY GET AHOLD OF THEM?
BUT INVESTIGATORS HAVE TOLD US,
THEY JUST SAID THEY WANT TO
STRESS TO PARENTS IF YOU HAVE
GUNS, PLEASE KEEP THEM OUT OF
THE REACH OF YOUR CHILDREN.
