The Leon County Sheriff's Office is investigating a shooting that occurred Wednesday morning in northwest Tallahassee, according to spokeswoman Angela Green.

The incident occurred just after 11 a.m. at Springfield Apartments — the location of at least five shootings within the last two years.

No one was injured in Wednesday's shooting at 1700 Joe Louis Street, though someone connected to the shooting was taken into custody, Green said. No charges have been filed, as of Wednesday afternoon.

She could not go into more detail as it is an open and active investigation.
