The shooter, a white man, killed three people after writing messages of hatred for Black people. He killed himself after opening fire in a dollar store.

A white gunman fatally shot three Black people in hate-motivated shooting at a Dollar General retailer in Jacksonville on Saturday afternoon, Sheriff T.K. Waters said.

“This shooting was racially motivated, and he hated Black people,” the sheriff said at a news conference. “He wanted to kill n------.”

    “This shooting was racially motivated, and he hated Black people,” the sheriff said at a news conference. "He wanted to kill n------. “That’s the one and only time I’ll use that word,” Waters said, referring to the racial slur.

    Like, what??? Why use it even that “one and only” time?
