SUMMARY: City leaders in Columbus have passed a new gun ordinance targeting those who fire weapons in city limits. Offenders will now face a $1,000 fine and automatic jail time, not subject to a judge’s decision. They must also surrender their gun. The ordinance is aimed at curbing shootings by a small group of individuals, not law-abiding gun owners. Exceptions include self-defense situations and hunting activities. The goal is to prevent dangerous behavior and ensure public safety by encouraging gun use at shooting ranges instead of firing randomly in the air within city limits. Newly annexed areas and hunters will not be affected by the ordinance.

Columbus city leaders are met to crack down on shootings.

SUMMARY: Christian artist TobyMac reflected on his evolving music style ahead of his performance at the Brandon Amphitheater. Rooted in hip hop, R\&B, and soul, he says his sound has mellowed over time, shaped by life’s ups and downs. Though he sometimes tires of older songs like “Speak Life,” their enduring message keeps them meaningful. He continues to blend new hits like “Cornerstone” and “I Just Need You” into his setlist, skipping “Good Morning” out of respect for collaborator Mandisa. TobyMac promises fans a joyful, diverse, and unified show experience, filled with both nostalgic favorites and fresh, relevant music.

SUMMARY: Scattered afternoon storms may disrupt outdoor plans today, with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s and heat index values in the mid-90s. Overnight temperatures will dip to the 70s. More storms are possible tomorrow, especially in the Delta during the morning, with widespread storms expected by afternoon. A high-pressure system near Baja California will shift northward this week, reducing rain chances but increasing heat and humidity. By midweek through the weekend, isolated afternoon storms remain possible. Temperatures will rise into the mid-90s by the weekend, with real feel values reaching 105–110 degrees. Stay weather-aware and hydrated.
