LYNN HAVEN — Police are investigating a shooting inside a suburban neighborhood home in Lynn Haven.
Details were sparse immediately following the shooting. The names of the people involved had yet to be released late Friday.
Lynn Haven Police Department officers responded about 5:30 p.m. Friday to 1216 Illinois Ave. to reports of injuries suffered from a gunshot. An unidentified victim was rushed to a hospital afterward as crime scene investigators descended on the scene. Police on scene reported a suspect was in custody, but the suspect’s name also had yet to be released.
The severity of the injuries suffered by the victim was not immediately released by LHPD Chief Matt Riemer.
As crime scene tape waved in the breeze, the neighborhood around 1216 Illinois was quiet.
