‘RACIAL HATRED.’ This video grab shows a press conference screen displaying a handgun found on the scene of a shooting
in Jacksonville, Florida on Sunday . A white man driven by racial hatred shot dead three Black people in a Florida discount store before taking his own life after a standoff with police, authorities said. ‘He targeted a certain group of people and that’s Black people. That’s what he said he wanted to kill. And that’s very clear,’ Jacksonville Sheriff TK Waters told a news conference about the gunman, who was in his early 20s.
According to the sheriff’s office, the shooter, who has not yet been identified, entered a Dollar General store wearing a tactical vest, armed with an AR-style rifle and a handgun. The university said in a statement that the shooter had been on campus earlier that day, though no one was harmed. The FBI will investigate the shooting as a hate crime, said Sherri Onks, the bureau’s special agent for Jacksonville, a city of nearly one million in the northeast corner of the state.“We know that he acted completely alone,” Waters said.
US President Joe Biden was briefed on the incident in Jacksonville, the White House said, and had received updates on other shootings over the last 24 hours across the country.
