Emergency personnel surround a Dollar General store after a white man armed with a high-powered rifle and a handgun killed three Black people before shooting himself, in what local law enforcement described as a racially motivated crime in Jacksonville, Florida, US, on August 26, 2023.
A shooting at a Dollar General store in Jacksonville, US state of Florida, left at least four people dead, including the shooter, on Saturday afternoon, Fox News reported.
Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters said in a press conference that the victims were all black people, including two men and one woman.
The suspect, a White male in his early 20s, was armed with a high-powered rifle and a handgun, wearing a tactical vest, according to police.
"He hated black people," Waters told reporters.
Police believed that the suspect acted alone, and no evidence suggested that he was part of a large group.
