Edward Waters University, a historically Black college in Jacksonville, said that a security officer denied entry on campus to the man believed to be the gunman in the Dollar General shooting in Jacksonville.
Waters said in a Saturday news conference said the suspect detailed a “disgusting ideology of hate” toward Black people in several manifestos that he wrote before the attack. The gunman had also painted swastikas on the rifle. The FBI’s Jacksonville office is investigating the shooting as a hate crime, the agency said in a statement posted on social media.
Students at Edward Waters University, which has about 1,200 students, went into lockdown on Saturday. Access was restricted to the college until the all-clear was given at 4:35 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, the college said.Law enforcement officials have begun probing the shooter’s background after it was revealed he was previously held in 2017 under a state rule called the Baker Act, which allows people to be held for examination for up to 72 hours during a mental health crisis.
Martin Luther King Jr.'s family spoke on CNN on Aug. 27 about how hate crimes still exist in America 60 years after the March on Washington.
