Action News Jax told you ambulances rushed Shawn Lee to UF Health Jacksonville, where he was treated and discharged.
We spoke exclusively to Shawn, who said a driver with dreadlocks in a red four-door car shot at him while he rode his bike to a friend’s house.
Shawn said he did not know the driver and doesn’t know why he shot at him.

He said the bullet grazed his neck and told us how he felt when he realized he was struck.
“I was just scared. I thought I was going to die,” Shawn said.
The teen said he is expected to make a full recovery.
This is the third child shot in less than a week. On Thursday, an 11-year-old and 13-year-old were shot on Lewis Street.
I knocked on doors to try and get surveillance of the shooting. Neighbors tell me they did not have any at the time. @ActionNewsJax pic.twitter.com/9J31QcrSWZ

When I interviewed Shawn Lee, he tells me he does not know why the man shot at him. He says he doesn't know him and wishes he would've stayed home. @ActionNewsJax @WOKVNews pic.twitter.com/DdKWaNLiy2
