The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is investigating reports of a person shot on the Westside Saturday, July 20.

Police said a man in his early 20s was transported to the nearby hospital. They also said that the man was later transported from this hospital to another hospital, but that he appears to have non-life threatening injuries.

Though JSO initially tweeted they were responding to a shooting, during a news conference held Saturday around 1 p.m., JSO said they couldn't confirm if the incident that took place was a shooting.

JSO said officers are now speaking to witnesses at the hospital, as well as witnesses at the apartment complex for more information.
