The victim in a neighborhood shooting, a deaf man, said the shooter mocked his disability before firing the gun, ActionNewsJax in Jacksonville, Florida, reports. The victim is recovering after his neighbor shot him Sunday evening, police said.
The man's wife said she was watching from her window when everything unfolded. She said her husband was shot and fell on the ground.
Surveillance video recorded screams in the Hunter's Way Apartments in Jacksonville on Sunday evening.
"I mean, instantly everybody was in panic mode," said Richard Royal.
Royal was one of the neighbors who rushed to help 50-year old Allen Zogleman after a bullet grazed his head.
Cameras captured the moments leading up to the shooting.
"I don't think no one expected he was going to pull a gun out," Royal said.
It started with some sort of incident between Zogelman's children and the suspect's children. When Zogleman tried to explain he's deaf, he was shot.
Neighbors say the bloody sight unfolded in front of dozens of children. One of those kids was Zogleman's 4-year-old daughter.
Zogleman and his wife are both deaf. ActionNewsJax's Brittany Jones went to talk to them and exchanged notes.
His wife said the suspect's son struck her daughter in the head with a pole, and Zogleman yelled to her through their apartment window and went downstairs to talk to the boy's dad. She said that then the man began yelling and acting aggressively. She said the suspect said her husband was "deaf and dumb," then shot him and left.
The neighbor's surveillance video shows a white car speeding off right after the shooting happened, but no one has seen the suspect since.
ActionNewsJax obtained photos of Zogleman's injuries.
"Somebody like that shouldn't be loose on the streets. To pull a gun that fast and shoot somebody – an unarmed man, an unarmed deaf man," Royal said.
Neighbors said they hope police find the man and lock him up for good.
ActionNewsJax stopped by the building where the suspect lives but was unable to contact him.
ActionNewsJax also contacted the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office a few times Monday to ask for suspect information and if there have been any arrests or charges filed. ActionNewsJax is waiting to hear back.
