River Gunfight - Investigation Drags On, Still No Charges

    “Still under review.”
    Officials with the State Attorney's Office in Tavares on Monday indicated there was no change in the status of the investigation into a shooting that occurred on the St. Johns River in late August. The incident, which saw individuals on a boat and a group on jet skis near the SR 40 bridge escalated to a shooting event, with the groups reportedly exchanging shots.
    Two people were injured in the incident, and the Lake County Sheriff’s Office at the time reported two people were in custody.
    However, since that time there has been no confirmed movement in the case, except for the sheriff’s office forwarding its investigative findings to the state attorney.
