News4JAX heard from two car owners in the Five Points neighborhood, who said they found bullet holes. No injuries were reported.

“I’m like, ‘Mom, we’ve been shot.’ And she starts checking herself and said, ‘No, the car was shot,’” Wooley told News4JAX. ‘I’m like, ‘Holy crap. What if one of us were standing there?’”

Z. Farhat is the manager of Green Acres Sporting Goods in Jacksonville. He said that based on the size of the hole in Wooley’s SUV, the bullet that struck the vehicle was likely fired from a 9mm handgun.“The longer bullet looks more like a 30-caliber bullet. My best guess would probably be a 7.62 X 39. That’s a very popular caliber that people shoot because the ammo is fairly inexpensive,” he said.

“Shoot something in the air like that, and it’s going to come down somewhere and it’s usually not going to come down in the area it was originally shot from,” he said.
