At least two people were shot a mile apart from each other the night after Christmas in Jacksonville, one a teenager with multiple wounds, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. Both happened Wednesday evening near Moncrief Road.

Police said the 16-year-old was able to get to a neighbor's house in the 2100 block of Brooklyn Road. He told police he was walking down Brooklyn about 7:45 p.m when someone he doesn't know asked him to come over to him and started shooting. The shooter appeared to be a juvenile in jean shorts and a black T-shirt, and a resident said he saw him run to a silver older-model Lincoln parked on Paris Avenue and get in the back seat. The car headed north toward Edgewood Avenue.

The teen, who was shot three times including in the lower abdomen, was in life-threatening condition Wednesday night, according to the incident report.

Then about 10:30 p.m. police said there also was a shooting at Grunthal Street. They said they needed to force their way into the home to help a man suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest but not life threatening. He was in his upper 50s and said he accidentally shot himself while cleaning his gun. Police did not suspect foul play.
