Two men in their mid-twenties were shot Tuesday afternoon on Jacksonville's Westside, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. At about 4:47 in the afternoon, officers were called to the 1300 block of Cassat Avenue following a ShotSpotter alert; both later walked to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Investigators say it appears isolated and are seeking tips. Now here is Chloe with the forecast. Sunny, with a high near 86 and a low around 69. East winds about 9 miles per hour and zero chance of rain — shorts weather. Now let us check in with Devon. The Blue Angels and Thunderbirds will headline a free air show October 17 through 18th at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, and organizers expect large crowds and traffic delays. I'm Devon, live on the midway; bring patience and a parking plan.
