U.S. weekend shootings: Four dead
Separate shootings at a discount store, ethnic festival and baseball game killed four people and wounded nine others in the United States over the weekend. In the latest shooting on Saturday, the suspected gunman, who was not yet identified, shot dead three Black people at the Dollar General store in Jacksonville, Florida before shooting himself dead during a standoff with police. Jacksonville Sheriff TK Waters told a news conference the shooter entered the store wearing a tactical vest and armed with an AR-style rifle and a handgun. Manifestos discovered by the gunman’s family shortly before the attack “detail the shooter’s disgusting ideology of hate,” Waters said, and at least one of the guns had hand-drawn swastikas on it. Edward Waters University, which is near the store and historically a Black college, said in a statement that the shooter had been on campus earlier that day, though no one was harmed. “An on-campus Edward Waters University security officer engaged an unidentified male in the vicinity of the Centennial Library on campus,” it said. “The individual refused to identify themselves and was asked to leave.” The university added that the individual — later identified as the shooter — left “without incident.” The Federal Bureau of Investigation will investigate the shooting as a hate crime, Sherri Onks, the bureau’s special agent for Jacksonville, said. Earlier Saturday, at least seven people were hospitalized after a shooting at a Caribbean festival in the northeast city of Boston, police said. None of the seven had life-threatening injuries, police said. “Firearms have been recovered and arrests made,” they said in a brief statement. In Chicago, two women were shot and injured inside Guaranteed Rate Field during the game between the Chicago White Sox and the Oakland Athletics on Friday. One of the victims was shot in the leg and taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center. The other woman, 26, was grazed in the abdomen but refused medical attention.
