SUSPECT IN CUSTODY AFTER SHOOTING

Pensacola FL (NewsRadio 92-3) A suspect is in custody following a shooting in McDavid last night, according to the Escambia County Sheriff's Office. The adult male victim was found lying in Main Street directly in front of the McDavid Post Office about 8:40 pm. He was just a few feet away from the driver’s door of a Chevrolet SUV that remained in the roadway. The victim, who was suffering from two gunshot wounds, was transported by Escambia County EMS to the nearby McDavid Fire Station before being airlifted in critical condition by Medstar AirCare helicopter to a Pensacola hospital. The suspect reportedly fled the scene in another vehicle toward nearby Highway 164. That’s where Escambia County Sheriff’s Office K-9 units and drones searched, eventually taking the suspect into custody outside a home on Highway 164 west of Highway 29 and Driver Road, about a half mile from the shooting scene. The suspect has not been identified yet.
