   3 people dead after gunman targeted Black people in Jacksonville   
      
      
   CNN  —   
      
   Three people were killed Saturday in a racially motivated attack after a   
   gunman targeted Black people at a Dollar General store in Jacksonville,   
   Florida, in one of several weekend shootings that again shocked Americans   
   in public places – from stores to football games to parades.   
      
   “This shooting was racially motivated and he hated Black people,”   
   Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters said at a news conference early Saturday   
   evening.   
      
   Waters said the shooter, who he described as a White man in his 20s, shot   
   and killed himself after the attack. The suspect left behind what the   
   sheriff described as three manifestos outlining his “disgusting ideology   
   of hate” and his motive in the attack.   
      
   All three victims, two men and one woman, were Black.   
      
   Waters said the shooter lived in Clay County, Florida, south of   
   Jacksonville, with his parents. Jacksonville is located in northeast   
   Florida, about 35 miles south of the Georgia border.   
      
   Waters said the shooter told his father by text to “check his computer.”   
   The father found documents described by Waters as manifestos and called   
   authorities.   
      
   But Waters said by the time authorities were alerted about the manifestos,   
   the gunman had already started the attack in the Dollar General.   
      
   The shooting started shortly after 1 p.m. ET, blocks away from Edward   
   Waters University, a historically Black school where students living on   
   campus were told to stay in their residence halls. Waters said the gunman   
   was seen on the school’s campus before heading to the Dollar General. No   
   one was injured on the campus.   
      
   “He took that opportunity to put his bulletproof vest on outside and to   
   put his mask on outside and then proceed to the store where he committed   
   this horrible act,” Waters told CNN’s Jim Acosta.   
      
   Edward Waters University officials said the shooter was turned away from   
   its campus after refusing to identify himself.   
      
   “The individual returned to their car and left campus without incident.   
   The encounter was reported to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office by EWU   
   security,” according to a university news release. 01 boston shooting

   At least 7 people hurt in shooting that halted Boston parade, police say   
      
   Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan said the gunman barricaded himself inside   
   the store after the attack. It was not immediately clear if victims were   
   shot inside or outside the store.   
      
   The sheriff said investigators believe the gunman acted alone and wore   
   both a tactical vest and mask during the attack. He was armed with an   
   AR-15 style rifle and a handgun.   
      
   Waters showed photos of the weapons during a news conference, which showed   
   swastikas were drawn on one of the guns with white paint.   
      
   “We have opened a federal civil rights investigation, and we will pursue   
   this incident as a hate crime,” said Sherri Onks, special agent in charge   
   of the FBI’s Jacksonville office.
