U.S-‘Racially motivated’ shooting in Jacksonville kills three

Three people were killed in a “racially motivated” shooting in Jacksonville, Florida, local law enforcement confirmed.

The incident took place at a store in a largely African-American neighborhood in the city and the gunman utilised a weapon painted with a swastika sign, the police told Associated Press.

The perpetrator, who is believed to have acted alone, reportedly died from a self-inflicted gunshot.
