SOMEONE SHOT AND KILLED 19 YEAR OLD JAMARIS WILLIAMS IN A DRIVE-BY SHOOTING LAST NIGHT.

THE SHOOTING ALSO HURT TWO OTHERS.

TWO OTHERS WERE ALSO HURT.

DAVIS CT DRIVE BY SHOOTING-LL PKG

this is the city's 18th murder of this year- compare that to 20 total for all of last year. fort myers police say like most of this year's homicides- they have a suspect, but still need more evidence and witnesses to come forward to make an arrest.

fort myers' 18th murder OF 2012 happened on davis court in dunbar.

the driveby shooting went down last night- police say someone shot and killed 19 year-old jamaris williams. two others- paul baldwin and tommy williams were also hit, but are expected to be ok. family members tell us the 3 teens are all part of the group- lake boys.

their videos show guns and use explicit lyrics as they rap about violence and other topics.

deloria 16:11 "those videos are not gang-related- those videos are videos of these young people trying to support their family and get something done."

police say the group has been quiet-

and don't believe this shooting has anything to do with their videos.

but chief doug baker stresses that one of their biggest hurdles in cracking all these cases- is the community coming forward with information.

baker 35:52 "i have 174 officers for 68 thousand population. i do not have a crystal ball. there is no way i can predict when and where these acts of violence are going to occur."

fort myers police devoted 30 officers to keep an eye of the city's violent offenders along with getting guns illegally possessed off the streets in an attempt to stop all this violence.

FORECAST-PHC

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

FORECAST-WXWALL

INCREASING RAIN CHANCES THIS WEEK

We're starting the week off just right - high clouds, sunshine, and no rain. Of course this will not last. Humidity levels will begin rising, it'll feel uncomfortable, and by the end of the week showers will return.

The cloud cover we had on Monday came from thunderstorms in the Caribbean and Gulf. How does that happen? Simple. The winds thousands of feet in the air clipped the cloud tops and spread them over southwest Florida. At times it looked like it would rain, but it never did. The air under the clouds was just too dry. If rain did fall, it would evaporate before it reached the surface.

The drier air will soon be replaced with the nasty tropical air by midweek. That's when heat index values will rise, and isolated storms become numerous.

This will be a gradual transition. A few thunderstorms will be evident on radar Tuesday, they'll be widely spaced. Wednesday through Friday rain chances continue to increase - it'll be a return to the "norm" for southwest Florida. Mix of sun and clouds, and scattered thunderstorms each afternoon.

The weekend forecast looks like another split decision. One day looks nice while the other day doesn't. The best day will be Saturday. There will be some thunderstorms with mostly cloudy skies. Sunday will be quite the soaker as skies will be overcast and there will be numerous thunderstorms to track! That carries over into Monday, too, so expect a wet commute to work and school.

Conditions on the waters look nice for you beach and boat goers. Winds will be fairly light, and the inland waterways will have a slight chop.

TX TEEN SPANKED-PKG

Taylor Santos is a sophomore with good grades at this high school north of

Fort Worth, Texas. But after she got caught helping another student cheat.

. Taylor got a paddle to the backside.

Taylor Santos/Student

"I still have welts."

Taylor and her mother actually CHOSE corporal punishment over day-long

suspension. They're not outraged she was spanked-- but by WHO did it. Her

MALE Vice Principal.

Anna Jorgensen/Taylor's Mother

"Men are too big and strong to be hitting 96-pound girls."

Jada Watt is a year ahead of Taylor at Springtown High. She admits she '

smarted off' to the same male vice principal with the same result.

Cathi Watt/Jada's Mother

"I wasn't expecting a bruise. A swat is a swat--yes it is and they do sting

. But to bruise a child?"

Texas is one of 19 states that allows corporal punishment in

schools---usually as long as a parent agrees.

The school superintendent tells ABC NEWS in both cases. his administrators

followed Texas law.

But they violated their own school policy---which states.spanking of a student can be only be done by an employee of the SAME sex.

Jada says not only was she paddled by the male vice principal, but it was

observed by a male police officer.

Cathi Watt/Jada's Mother

"Two men giving her a swat behind closed doors. that is CREEPY."

Tonight, school officials actually plan to ask the board to change that

same-sex policy. These moms will fight that--saying their daughters are

proof. men shouldn't be hitting women under *any* circumstances. For

We're starting the week off just right - high clouds, sunshine, and no rain. Of course this will not last. Humidity levels will begin rising, it'll feel uncomfortable, and by the end of the week showers will return.

The cloud cover we had on Monday came from thunderstorms in the Caribbean and Gulf. How does that happen? Simple. The winds thousands of feet in the air clipped the cloud tops and spread them over southwest Florida. At times it looked like it would rain, but it never did. The air under the clouds was just too dry. If rain did fall, it would evaporate before it reached the surface.

The drier air will soon be replaced with the nasty tropical air by midweek. That's when heat index values will rise, and isolated storms become numerous.

This will be a gradual transition. A few thunderstorms will be evident on radar Tuesday, they'll be widely spaced. Wednesday through Friday rain chances continue to increase - it'll be a return to the "norm" for southwest Florida. Mix of sun and clouds, and scattered thunderstorms each afternoon.

The weekend forecast looks like another split decision. One day looks nice while the other day doesn't. The best day will be Saturday. There will be some thunderstorms with mostly cloudy skies. Sunday will be quite the soaker as skies will be overcast and there will be numerous thunderstorms to track! That carries over into Monday, too, so expect a wet commute to work and school.

Conditions on the waters look nice for you beach and boat goers. Winds will be fairly light, and the inland waterways will have a slight chop.

PARENTS BEHAVING BADLY-PKG

YOUTH BASEBALL COACH JOHN REARDON SAYS HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON WHEN

HE STARTED GETTING ANONYMOUS AND THREATENING TEXT MESSAGES THIS SUMMER.

SOT Reardon

I tried to think back on who didn't like me and I had words with this guy a

few months ago in May

The guy Reardon had words with was rival coach Robert Sanfilippo. The men

got into it after Reardon's 10-year-old son struck out Sanfilippo's son.

The team Sanfillipo coaches is called the Long Island Vengeance that's the

sticker in the window of his house and according to police, the name is

appropriate. Reardon says in August, months after the incident, he started

receiving text messages and pictures from an untraceable phone number.

SOT Reardon

It was texts of people in my family, my house, my son, saying watch your

back, sleep with one eye open.

There were pictures of his wife in the driveway, even his son walking to the

bus stop. before Reardon decided enough was enough.

SOT Reardon

Once they started talking about my son by name, mentioning his name in the

texts I got concerned and I went to the police.

Police arrested Sanfilippo right in the middle of a game on Friday, and

charged him with 20 counts of aggravated harassment and one count of

stalking. Reardon says parents should lighten up and that Sanfilippo has him

looking over his shoulder.

SOT Reardon

I wanna make sure this guy's punished for what he did. / I don

't know what this guy is capable of. / I get a little nervous. I still

think about it.

PAUL BEBAN ON CAMERA:

SANFILIPPO SAYS HE DID NOTHING WRONG AND WAS RELEASED WITHOUT BAIL OVER THE

YEARS IN PRISON.
