Pinellas Park police searching for suspects in double shooting

PINELLAS PARK, Fla. - An early-morning double shooting in Pinellas Park Thursday left one man in critical condition and another stable, police said.

One of the victims called 911 at around 6 a.m. to report he'd been shot. Police arrived to find two people shot and the gunman gone.

"We believe this house was targeted from the information that we received and we don't believe there is a danger to the public at this time," said Pinellas Park Police Sgt. Roxanne Pohl.

Investigators are trying to determine what led up to the shooting. According to police, one of the victims is a resident at the home on 66th Terrace; the other was described as a "visitor."

Neighbors said they heard fireworks and arguing until around midnight, but most didn't hear any gunshots even though several shots were fired.

"We have kids all over running the neighborhood playing together, and to know that that violence can be there is surprising," said Jennifer Jacoby, who lives down the street.

"I know the neighbors say it's a nice neighborhood but that hasn't been my experience here and I think there's probably a lot of trouble in this neighborhood that goes on that people don't know about," added Susan Paulson, another neighbor. "I know there are a lot of shootings these days but when it's right up the street from your house, I think it's time to move on."

As of late Thursday afternoon, police had not yet released any suspect or vehicle descriptions. Anyone with information should call Pinellas Park police.
