Grocery-shopping while black

A friendly, not-at-all racist white man killed two unrelated black people in separate locations at a Kentucky grocery store before he was confronted, but not shot, by an armed bystander whom he reportedly reassured that "whites don't kill whites".

Bush allegedly entered the Jeffersontown store around 2 p.m. Wednesday and shot his first victim, later identified as Maurice Stallard, 69, multiple times, including when Stallard was down on the floor, according to the police report. After leaving the store, the alleged gunman shot the second victim, later identified as Vicki Lee Jones, 67, in the parking lot. The police report says an unidentified armed civilian challenged the shooter and that Bush allegedly began firing at Jones in the parking lot. A motive for the shooting remained under investigation Thursday, police said. But new details about the alleged gunman's whereabouts before the shooting emerged. Rogers said Bush attempted to enter the First Baptist Church of Jeffersontown, a predominantly black church, 10 to 15 minutes before the shooting but was “unsuccessful.” He said he could not confirm whether the gunman was armed when he attempted to go inside. Bush’s Facebook page indicates he has a history of posting racially charged opinions. Bush also acknowledges on the same Facebook account that he has schizophrenia. Rogers has since said there is “some mental illness history with the suspect in question.” Investigators have not yet determined whether Bush was allowed to own a gun or how he obtained it, the police chief said.
