Man, 18, Arrested For Multiple Shooting Outside Belle Glade Health Dept.

An 18-year-old man is now being facing attempted homicide charges following a shooting Monday in Belle Glade. 

Authorities say Randolph Jackson fired shots outside the health department building located just off of State Roads 80 and 15 at Hooker Highway.

Palm Beach County Sheriff's officers asay Jackson was riding home on a Palm Tran bus Monday after a meeting with his probation officer in West Palm Beach when he got into a dispute with another passenger on the bus.

The argument continued when Randolph and the other man arrived in Belle Glade.

Surveillance video allegedly shows four people walking toward their vehicles outside the C.L. Brumback Glades Health Center when Jackson began shooting at them. The victims can be seen on the video running and ducking for cover.

Two people were hit and are being treated for minor wounds. Both are expected to survive. 

One of the intended victims fired back in self-defense and wounded Jackson. After being treated for his injury, Jackson was arrested Tuesday.

 Authorities say Jackson admits to getting into an argument, but denies firing a gun.

He now faces charges of attempted homicide, firing a weapon and possession of a weapon.
