Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Monday pledged $1 million to increase security at a historically Black college in Jacksonville that a white gunman tried to enter before shooting and killing three Black people at a Dollar General store.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis speaks at a prayer vigil, a day after a white man armed with a high-powered rifle and a handgun killed three Black people at a Dollar General store before shooting himself in what local law enforcement described as a racially motivated crime, in Jacksonville, Florida, U.S. August 27, 2023.
"We are not going to allow our to be targeted by these people," DeSantis said at a press conference on Monday where he announced the donation to the college. An additional $100,000 will be donated to a charity supporting the families of the shooter's victims, DeSantis said.
