Video: Jacksonville Sheriff Details Dollar General Shooting Chain of Events

At 1:08:13 [p.m.], the suspect’s on video in the parking lot in front of the store, shooting into a black Kia, and murders the first victim. At 1:19:21, the officers enter the building and begin to clear, just 11 minutes after this whole ordeal began. Patrol clearing the hallway when an officer hears a single gunshot. We believe that’s when he killed himself. From what I’m understanding from our lieutenant here, he let several people out of the store. Why? I don’t know. Some of them were white, but I do believe there was a couple that were not. And as I said yesterday, he did have a Baker Act petition from 2017. This petition occurred in Clay County, and it appears that the shooter was held for 72 hours under the Baker Act provisions and then released without further involuntary commitment. Where it stands right now, there was nothing that we could have done to stop him from owning a firearm, a rifle or a handgun. There was no red flags.
