Police are still investigating a rash of shootings that happened overnight Monday.
According to the Florida Times-Union, Jacksonville has now recorded 100 homicides this year with little more than a month to go.  

Concerns about the violent crime rate, and the debate over whether to expand casino gambling in Florida are just some of the topics we addressed with Jacksonville Sheriff John Rutherford.
