Police are investigating a shooting that injured six adults about a half mile away from the TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, Fla.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.— Six people were shot about a half mile away from where the Jaguars are playing a football game, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

The Jacksonville County Sheriff’s Office said three of the people shot were critically injured. Victims' ages range from the 20s to 70s, with five men and one woman shot.

Deputies said the shooting was outside of TIAA Bank Field footprint, located at A Philip Randolph Boulevard and Pippin Street, and was not impacting the Jaguars game.

The sheriff’s office said no one was in custody. Deputies believe the suspect is in a gray or silver four-door vehicle.

A game between the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars is ongoing. Police have set up a perimeter around the area of the shooting.

They say it shouldn't have an effect on people at the game but could have in impact on how traffic is routed after it's over. The sheriff's office says a portion of A Philip Randolph will be closed; drivers needing to go northbound can take westbound Albert Street to Union X-Way or be diverted east or westbound at Union Street.
