JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — One person is dead and another hospitalized after a Tuesday night incident at a Florida Amazon fulfillment center, according to the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department.

Details regarding the incident remained unclear Tuesday night. But the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is working on providing an update, confirming on Twitter that it is a “reported shooting and the “scene is being secured” as a news conference is scheduled for late Tuesday. .

Fire officials said they transported a victim at about 7:45 p.m. after pronouncing someone else dead.

Video from media outlets as well as Twitter posts from people near the reported shooting indicated multiple police vehicles and ambulances near the center.

The Amazon fulfillment center was also the scene of violence three months ago on June 29, when a 20-year-old man applying for a job was fatally shot and two others were injured in what the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office described as an ambush.

The 855,000-square-foot center began operations in 2017 and held its grand opening officially in April 2018.

In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...
