Officials are now focused on figuring out what exactly led the shooter to start shooting inside that store.
An investigation continues after three people were killed at a Dollar General store in Jacksonville, Florida, on Saturday in what officials say was a racist attack.
Waters said the masked shooter, described as a white male in his 20s who was living with his parents in Clay County, Florida, and had no criminal record, used an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, a Glock handgun, and wore a bullet-proof vest. At least one of the weapons had a swastika painted on it. According to Waters, the guns were legally bought in recent months despite being involuntarily committed for a mental health evaluation in 2017.Waters said the gunman was seen at Edward Waters University, a historically black university, nearby shortly before the shooting putting on his gear.
And in 2019, 22 people were killed in a mass shooting that targeted Mexicans at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas.
