[NBC] A shooting at a Dollar General store in Jacksonville, Florida left four people dead, including the shooter, on Saturday, with authorities saying they believe the attack was racially motivated, local media reported.
Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters stated during a press conference that the suspect was wearing a tactical vest and armed with an "AR style" rifle and a handgun and killed three people before turning the gun on himself. All three victims of the shooting were black, according to the sheriff.
The suspected shooter, a white male, had authored several manifestos to his parents, the media, and federal agents. The shooter's rifle was reportedly covered in swastikas and other extremist symbols.
