So, as my daughter and I were getting in the car to retrieve our pre-ordered subs at Publix, she said,\* “…uh, Dad, we better go to the other Publix\* (we have 4 within 8 miles), _my friend just texted that there’s an active shooting going on at the Sawgrass store.”_ [Story](https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2020/04/22/residents-in-area-of-sawgrass-publix-asked-to-shelter-in-place-after-shots-fired-at-deputy/) [here.](https://www.actionnewsjax.com/news/local/st-johns-county/st-johns-deputies-shot-ponte-vedra-publix-parking-lot-people-area-asked-shelter-place/RDACW62L3JCHRH7PQVOCVFODCA/) BTW, Publix makes superb subs. I always order their Italian hoagie when it goes on sale. ---

And for those of you as ignorant of geography as I am this is 25 miles from Jacksonville, Florida. ---

25 miles from downtown Jax, but only a few miles south of Jacksonville Beach. I used to work at TPC in Sawgrass. Hoping for a good outcome… ---

Looks like the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Department handled the situation very well. ---
