A tragic mass shooting took place in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday, which is being described as a racially motivated attack.
Unverified reports state that four people were fatally shot and two others injured on Saturday, shortly before 1 PM, along Kings Road in Northwest Jacksonville.
The number of casualties might increase as additional details are uncovered.
According to News4Jax, a witness said the suspected shooter allegedly fired at cars outside the store before going inside.
Emergency services, including a SWAT team, rushed to the scene. The suspect reportedly barricaded himself inside and exchanged gunfire with the police.
A member of the Jacksonville City Council has confirmed that the shooter is now deceased.
Sheriff T.K Waters told reporters Saturday evening, “This is a dark day in Jacksonville’s history. There is no place for hate in this community.”
He confirmed that the shooter killed three black people before committing suicide.
“This shooting was racially motivated, he hated black people…he wanted to kill n*s,” Waters added.

Spreading hate via the false narrative known as ‘white supremacy’ spreads hatred against those spreading that bullshyt encouraged initially by the most arrogant, anti-American racist prez we’ve ever had – o’blama, the ‘G’ in lbGftp Kenyan. I could be wrong but adding fuel to the fire are all the large cities in ruins mostly caused by the BLM tribe – a racist based ‘club.’ Taking revenge from a personal level is pointless and futile particularly when the fight is really against the shadowy, lying thugs (mostly white) known as the government who continue to support the divide.
Ahhhh
& he had a online dosier to right!
The FBI are some stupid MFers
