US Florida shooting leaves 3 people dead

TEHRAN, Aug. 27 (MNA) – A gunman in Jacksonville, Florida has killed three people after he entered a Dollar General with a gun and body armor in a racially motivated attack, police say.

“This shooting was racially motivated and he hated Black people,” Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters said at a news conference on Saturday.

All three victims of the shooting were black, two men and one woman, Sputnik reported.

The shooting happened blocks away from Edward Waters University, a historically black college, where students living on campus were told to stay in their residence halls.

Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan also called the shooting a hate crime.
