Is quiet Citrus County turning more violent? Is the crime rate going up? Is this all just a sign of the times?

Wednesday morning around 4:40 am an Inverness man reported being shot in the shoulder by an unknown assailant.  Then just before 5:00 am on the other side of Inverness, a man reportedly stumbles into an all night restaurant on Hwy 41.

He had been slashed in the neck and wrist with a knife or some kind of cutting instrument and was airlifted to Tampa Bay’s St. Joseph’s Hospital for treatment. In the man’s own words, he told authorities he’d been the victim of a robbery on the Withlacoochee State Trail in the vicinity of the Mossy Oak mobile home park nearby.
