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------.”
Not a matter of right or wrong. The statistics are clear about the risks.
Gun in your home = more likely to shoot a family member than an intruder.
Gun on person = more likely to be the victim of a violent crime.
