One person was taken to the hospital following a shooting Saturday evening in an Alva neighborhood.

It happened at about 7:15 p.m. at Charleston Park, just off Palm Beach Boulevard.

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office said there was one victim with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.

Earlier in the day, people in the community were posting on social media that they’d been celebrating the Charleston Park Day Festival.

It is unclear whether the shooting took place before or after the festival ended.
