Mass shootings have become commonplace in the US, with more than 469 so far in 2023, according to the Gun Violence Archive
A white man armed with a high-powered rifle and a handgun killed three Black people at a Dollar General store in Jacksonville, Florida, on Saturday, August 26, before shooting himself, in what local law enforcement described as a racially motivated crime.
The suspect, whom Waters described as a white male wearing a tactical vest, was not identified. Waters said all three victims – two men and a woman – were Black. Waters described his weapons as a Glock and an “AR-15 style” rifle, with swastikas on it, referring to a lightweight semi-automatic long gun often used in mass shootings.
He said the shooter was spotted at a local historically Black college, Edward Waters University, where he put on his vest and a mask before going to the local branch of the Dollar General, a discount chain with stores across the United States.
