Multiple people were killed during a mass shooting in Jacksonville, Florida, on Saturday in what officials said was a racially motivated attack.
Shooter Ryan Palmeter, 21, opened fire at a Dollar General store on Saturday, killing three black people. The victims have been named as Angela Michelle Carr, 52; store employee A.J. Laguerre, 19; and Jerrald Gallion, 29. Palmeter killed himself as police arrived.Here's what to know about the shooting that took place this weekend.Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters said this weekend that Palmeter left his home in Clay County around 11:39 a.m.
A security guard followed Palmeter until he left campus, Faison said. University police followed him out of the lot around 12:58 p.m. and flagged down a sheriff’s officer, saying there was a suspicious person on campus, Waters said.“It’s not by happenstance, we believe, that he came to the first historically black university in this state first,” Faison said.At 1:08 p.m., Palmeter shot at a black Kia in the parking lot, killing Carr.
Palmeter texted his father at 1:18 p.m., asking him to go into his room. Officers entered the store a minute later, 11 minutes from the start of the shooting, and heard one gunshot — Waters said that is when Palmeter shot and killed himself.
