The tragic shooting death of a two-year old Jacksonville boy on Saturday afternoon has been ruled an accident by police, and not the result of a drive-by shooting as the child's mother initially claimed. While the exact details of the case are not yet clear, authorities believe that the child was shot by another child at an adult's birthday party near Palm Street and Merivale on Saturday afternoon. The mother has been charged with filing a false police report now that the details of the case have started to emerge.

Despite the fact that Jacksonville has the state's seventh-highest population, numbers released by the Floriday Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles shows the city ranks third in number of reported hit-and-run accidents. Sources say that the numbers have skyrocketed from 349 reported incidents in 2006 to more than 2,000 in 2007/2008. City officials believe that Jackonville's size may contribute to the high number of hit-and-run accidents, but believe that something needs to be done to curb the frequency of such serious accidents.
