Five people have been hospitalized following a Monday shooting in Gainsville.
Alachua police Sgt. Jesse Sandusky says the victims, which included two children, were found in the middle of a roadway.
Sandusky says the shooting may have been in retaliation for the fatal shooting a day earlier of 27-year-old Dana Walker Jr., whose body was found on a basketball court. "This is not something that was random," Sandusky said.
Monday night's victims were taken to UF Health Shands Hospital, where one was reported in critical condition.
Sandusky says that because there was no known suspect in the shooting spree, the emergency department was briefly in lockdown to ensure the victims' safety.
Walker's death was the first homicide in Alachua since 2007.
