The justice department is investigating the attack as a hate crime.
The pastor of a church near the site of the racist fatal shooting of three Black people in Florida told congregants Sunday to follow Jesus Christ's example and keep their sadness from turning to rage.
"Our hearts are broken," the Rev. Willie Barnes told about 100 congregants Sunday morning."If any of you are like me, I'm fighting trying to not be angry." A masked white man carried out the shooting with at least one weapon bearing a swastika inside a Dollar General store, leaving two men and one woman dead.
The gunman, who was in his 20s, wore a bullet-resistant vest and used a Glock handgun and an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle. He acted alone and there was no evidence that he was part of a group, Waters said. "These young men, they were withing feet of their lives being taken," Barnes told the congregation."And we're grateful God spared their lives."
"This guy killed himself rather than face the music and accept responsibility for his actions. He took the coward's way out," DeSantis said.
