JACKSONVILLE, FL -- The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says an off-duty officer was forced to shoot two suspects outside of the Plush night club early Saturday morning.
Investigators say two off-duty, uniformed officers who were working for the club located on University Boulevard and Arlington Expressway heard gunshots in the parking lot outside the club around 2 a.m.
According to police, three men, Caleif Bush, 18, Cariel Britt, 21, and Corey Gibson, 19, were fleeing the scene when an officer tried to stop him. Police say Bush accelerated the car in the officer's direction.
According to the police report, the officer pulled out his gun and shot Bush in the forearm, which caused him to crash into a wall and a parked motorcycle.
The passenger, Cariel Britt, got out of the car and pointed a gun in the officer's direction. The officer fired once, hitting Britt.
Both were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injures.
A third suspect, Corey Gibson, was found in the back seat of the car and arrested after officers found a glock hidden in the floorboard of the car.
Corey Gibson was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon.
According to a police spokesperson the officers involved are on administrative leave, which is standard procedure in any police involved shooting.
Police are still investigating who was involved in the first shooting.
All three suspects have a lengthy record.
