One person was shot outside a middle school in Escambia County Tuesday night.

About 8:30 p.m. shots were fired from a vehicle on Langley Avenue outside of Workman Middle School.

“Officers who were inside the school during a basketball game were alerted to the shooting and went outside to investigate. They located one adult male with gunshot wounds. He was transported to a nearby hospital and is currently in stable condition,” Pensacola Police Department Officer Mike Wood said. “The school was placed in lockdown until officers could determine that it was safe for those inside to leave.”

PPD is currently looking for suspects and witnesses. Anyone with information is asked to call the police department at (850 435-1900 or Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.

    I We lived on Langley Ave. back in 69-72. Went to Workman Middle. This city is getting bad all over now. The element is crossing over into neighborhoods, East of where the real crime is.

    This town is changing for the worst.

    Until all these drug dealers and users kill each other, these shootings are a daily routine. Wish they’d be better shooters and get it over with.

    Escambia County south of Muskogee Road is quickly becoming more like Chicago every day. How many shootings this year so far? Two last night. Seems like they’re occurring like one a day vitamins.
