An Arlington woman said she heard dozens of gunshots and found blood in her backyard following a shootout between two vehicles early Wednesday morning.

Julia Bacher spoke with News4JAX to describe the aftermath of the shootout that left a teen injured overnight. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said the teen was caught in the crossfire as he was walking down Rogero Road, about a block north of Fort Caroline Road.

“I was scared. They sounded very close. Not only did they sound really close, but like it just sounded like it was like right outside our window,” Bacher said.

Investigators said the teen suffered a single gunshot wound to his back and is expected to be OK. He was taken to a hospital in stable condition.

Bacher recalled hearing the gunshots, but wasn’t sure what was going on.
