US state of Florida :
A case of deliberately targeting black people has come to light in the US state of Florida. According to local time in Jacksonville, Florida, a white man shot and killed three black people on Saturday evening. Local policemen say that the shooting outside a general store was motivated by racial violence. After killing all three, the killer committed suicide by shooting himself.
At a press conference, Sheriff T.K. Waters told that the killer hated black people. There is no evidence that the person who fired was part of a larger group. Waters further said that the killer has been identified as a 20-year-old youth. He fired a Glock handgun and an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle. There is an atmosphere of fear in the area since the murder.
Swastik marks found on the gun with which the incident was carried out
Sheriff T.K. Waters says that some written things have also been recovered from the killer. The police found a swastika drawn on one of his guns. He said that five years ago a gunman opened fire during a video game tournament in Jacksonville. Two people had died in this and the killer had committed suicide. It is believed that the killer has targeted black people only after five years of this incident.
The attacker told the father before the attack
The place where the shooting took place in Jacksonville is mainly an area of black people. The firing incident took place near Edward Waters University. The attacker came here from far away to target black people. Before the attack, he messaged his father asking him to check his computer. When the father saw the objectionable content present in the computer of the attacker son, he immediately called the police, but by then the firing had started.
