Update: Prosecuter Speaks On River Shooting Case

    Two people were hospitalized, and three more taken into custody. But nearly a month after a gunfight erupted on the St. Johns River in Astor, no charges have been announced and officials remain mum on details surrounding the case.
   But that could change as soon as later this week.
   Jonathan Olson, prosecutor with the Office of the State Attorney, Fifth Judicial Circuit, said on Tuesday that the investigation remains active.
   “The case is still under investigation,” Olson said. “We’re hopeful to have the full determination in the near future.”
   The Lake County Sheriff’s Office handled the initial investigation in the incident, and it is believed their conclusions were forwarded to the state attorney’s office a week or more ago.
   Olson said it is possible there could public information available in the case as soon as the end of this week.
   The original incident occurred on August 28, on the river just south of the SR 40 bridge. An argument between boaters and jet ski riders turned violent when the groups began firing at each other, with two people hospitalized with life-threatening injuries.
