City commissioner Curtis Richardson says the violence is overshadowing the good things happening in Tallahassee.
"It's certainly no reflection upon the city itself. We are going to redouble our efforts as a city, working with law enforcement from the county and the state and the universities to see what we can do to rid this community of this kind of violence," said Richardson.
Authorities have not made arrests in any of the shootings. The Tallahassee Police Department is investigating five of those shootings while the Leon County Sheriff's Office is investigating one.
