Jacksonville Murderer Originally Targeted a Black College, a gun-free zone where civilians were banned from having guns, but Because of Armed Security Instead Attacked a Dollar General Store
The murderer’s original target was a local historically Black college, Edward Waters University. After students alerted a security guard to the stranger on campus, the attacker was chased from the school. We have put together a long list of mass murderers who have clearly picked targets where victims are defenseless. Florida is a state that won’t allow civilians to carry on college campuses.
The president of a historically Black college in Jacksonville said Monday that he is convinced a group of students and a security officer thwarted a potential campus massacre by the same gunman who is alleged to have killed three people in a racially motivated attack at a Dollar General store near the school.
Dr. A. Zachary Faison, Jr., president and CEO of Edward Waters University in the New Town neighborhood of Jacksonville, called Lt. Antonio Bailey a “hero” for confronting the alleged gunman and chasing him off campus after a group of students flagged him down and informed him about the “unwelcomed and unauthorized intruder on our campus.” . . .
