The FBI says a gunman who opened fire inside a Walmart in Ohio and wounded four people before killing himself may have been motivated by racist extremism. The attack at the Walmart near Dayton just days before Thanksgiving injured four shoppers. Investigators say the victims were two Black women, a white woman and a white man. The FBI says journal writings and other evidence shows the shooting may have been at least partially inspired by racially violent extremist ideology. Police have identified the shooter as 20-year-old Benjamin Charles Jones, of Dayton.
