The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said on Twitter that “many” had been transported but additional details were not immediately available. The office reported that one gunman was dead at the scene and it was unclear whether there was another. Officials said searches were continuing. Ryan Aleman, who was at the bar, told CNN that he saw “at least six bodies on the floor” of people who had been shot.
