Teen Shooting Suspect on the Loose

COLUMBIA COUNTY, Fla. -- A shooting over the weekend sent two people to the hospital, and even though police have named a suspect, they haven't found him yet.

According to the Columbia County Sheriff's Office, 19-year-old Johnny Lee Collins opened fire outside the American Legion on Bond Street around 1 a.m. Sunday.

A female was seriously injured and airlifted to a hospital. Two males also were hit, one of whom was hospitalized.

Detectives are still trying to establish the motive behind the shooting, but already have an arrest warrant for Collins, who faces charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

The sheriff's office said Collins, whose last known address is on East St. Johns Street in Lake City, should be considered armed and dangerous. Call 911 if you see Collins.

All three victims are expected to recover.
