Multiple dead as active shooter barricades himself inside Florida Dollar General store
Multiple people were killed as an active shooter barricaded himself inside a Dollar General store in Florida. Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan confirmed that there were “a number of fatalities” caused by the shooting at the store on the city’s Kings Road on Saturday. “This is unacceptable. One shooting is too much but these mass shootings are really hard to take,” she said, according to WJXT. And she added: “It’s a heartbreaking thing for our community. It’s awful and it has happened in this community way too many times.” State Representative Angie Nixon, who represents the District 13 neighbourhood called the incident “tragic.” “These are things that we want to try to avoid by making sure that our communities are fully resourced, making sure we’re creating a climate of love and not tension,” Ms Nixon told WJXT. Councilwoman Ju’Coby Pittman said she was devastated to see yet more violence unleashed. “I’m tired of seeing all the shootings. The people in this community are hurting,” she said. The shooting took place near the city’s Edward Waters University campus, which issued a campus-wide stay in place order.
