JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- One man is dead and another is hurt after a double shooting Friday morning outside of an adult club on Philips Highway and Bowden Road, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
Police said the shooting happened about 2:20 a.m. when a fight at Club Climax spilled out into the parking lot.
JSO Sgt. Paul Jones said two suspects sped off in their vehicles after the shooting, leading police on a high-speed chase north on Interstate 95 and through two parts of Jacksonville.
One suspect was apprehended on the Westside. Another suspect crashed his car in a Northwest Jacksonville neighborhood near the intersection of Breve and Belafonte Drives. That suspect took out a telephone pole with his car, got out and ran several blocks on foot.
Jones said several officers were able to catch up with and arrest him.
One of the suspects was arrested after wrecking a car into a power pole in northwest Jacksonville and taking off on foot.
Police were still trying to find information on the second victim. Investigators believe that after being shot, he or she walked away from the club to avoid being questioned by police.
Police have not released the names of anyone involved in the incident.
Several homes were without electricity Friday morning as a result of the crash. JEA crews installed a new power pole and restored power just before 8:00 am.
Channel 4's Jason Law is learning more about the shootings, chase and arrests and will have a full report on the local station at noon.

And to think I visited two clubs in Jax last weekend. Perhaps my TUSCL research kept me out of that place!

Geez, Clubber, you could always roll over them with the Hog. A big fat cycle tire print on their face would improve their look. :)

vm,
So far, only a possum and the tail of an iguana, and it can really make a mess on the bike which I do NOT enjoy cleaning!

"Police were still trying to find information on the second victim. Investigators believe that after being shot, he or she walked away from the club to avoid being questioned by police."
Read that = the shooters and victims knew each other. This was territorial-drugs and/or prostitution involved. Could be some Florida gals working without a pimp.
