Former Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office Director Tom Hackney, who was working during the mass shooting at The Jacksonville Landing, said the racially motivated mass shooting sparked painful memories.
The attack came five years to the day of a deadly mass shooting when a gunman from Baltimore opened fire and killed two people and injured 11 others at a video game tournament at The Jacksonville Landing.
The recent tragedy triggered painful memories for Hackney, who was working with JSO when the 2018 shooting took place. Sheriff T.K. Waters made it clear that this shooting was “racially motivated,” stating that Palmeter left behind a manifesto that expressed an “ideology of hate” toward the Black community.The Federal Bureau of Investigations is calling the incident a hate crime. Hackney says law enforcement’s next step is to see if the shooter is part of a larger organization.
