A 3-year-old child and two adults were shot to death when gunfire erupted during an argument over the sale of dogs at a Florida apartment complex Saturday night, authorities said.
The three victims were among five people who went to the luxury apartment complex around 10 p.m. to meet with others about selling the dog, according to Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office Chief Assistant JD Stronko.
An argument took place in the breezeway between the two buildings that led to the shooting, Stronko said.
A fourth victim was injured in the shooting, Stronko said during a press conference early Sunday morning.
Two men followed him from the scene in a car following the shooting, he said. No victims have been identified.
It is unclear whether the group went to the apartment to buy or sell the dog. The shooting may have involved more than one apartment, he said.
“We have as many questions about this incident as you do right now,” Stronko told reporters.

Witnesses and survivors are being interviewed, he said.
An apartment resident recalled the moment he heard the shooting for WJXT.
“I was lying in bed and I heard pop, pop, pop. It was five or six shots, and I heard screaming,” Rachel told the station.
“I was petrified for them. I really didn’t expect this to happen. You hear about shootings, especially around Jacksonville but you don’t think it’s going to happen in your backyard, especially in a safe neighborhood.”
The relationship between the victims is not disclosed because of state laws that give certain rights to victims.
It is also not clear so far where the victim lives.
The deadly scene played out at the JTB Apartment Complex, WXJT reported, which is described as “Jacksonville’s newest luxury apartment complex,” according to the complex’s website.
