DeSantis MIA Following Racially Motivated Shooting In Jacksonville
Before the shooter, described by police as a White man in his early 20s, opened fire in a Dollar General store in Jacksonville, he was asked to leave the campus of a nearby historically Black university.
One of the shooter's firearms had a swastika painted on it. "He hated black people," Sheriff T.K. Waters told a news conference. The shooter took 3 innocent lives -- two Black men and a Black woman -- before turning the gun on himself. That was his only good shot. The shooter was outfitted with a tactical vest armed with an AR-style rifle and a handgun in the gun-friendly state of Florida.
Sheriff Waters said the shooter wrote several manifestos: one to his parents, one to the media, and to federal agents, according to First Coast News.
"Portions of these manifestos detailed the shooter's disgusting ideology of hate," Waters said. "Plainly put: this shooting was racially motivated, and he hated Black people."
"He wanted to kill [n-word]," the sheriff said. "That's the one and only time I'll use that word."
