Official Release of Public Information from Leon County Sheriff's Office:

At approximately 12:30AM, this morning, Leon County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a residence in the 8000 block of Blackjack Road, in reference to shots fired. Upon arrival to the residence, deputies were told three males, one armed with a shotgun, entered the residence and fired a shot at a 27-yr-old male subject as he tried to flee out the back door.

Reportedly after the man fled, so did the three male suspects. The male subject that fled the residence was not on scene as deputies interviewed two subjects who were in the residence at the time of this incident. As deputies conducted their investigation, the subject that fled the residence returned to the scene with a gun shot wound to his lower left leg. His wound was non-life threatening but he was transported to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital for treatment.

The subject that was shot and the two subjects in the residence at the time of this shooting were only able to provide a general description of the suspects as three black males, 5’10”, 150lbs, wearing all black and black masks. They were also unable to provide any information as to a possible motive; however, drug paraphernalia was found in the residence.
