Witnesses said two men ran away from the scene and a Jeep drove off.
The driver of the Jeep called police and told them he saw two people who he thought stole money from him. He approached them on Longchamp.
One of the men pulled out a gun and shot at the driver of the Jeep, the man told police.
The man returned fire and hit one of the men in the leg, police said.
That man showed up to St. Vincent's and will likely be arrested, JSO said.
Officers roped off a home and had guns drawn in a nearby mobile home park after the shooting.
