Edward Waters University, a historically black college, turned away the Jacksonville gunman on the day of his mass shooting.
The shooter, who police described as a white man in his 20s, confronted an on-campus security officer and refused to identify himself. As a result, the officer asked the man to leave, which he did “without incident,” according to the school.

Afterward, authorities say he engaged in a shooting around 2 p.m. at a Dollar General near the university’s campus situated in a predominantly black neighborhood in Jacksonville. Two men and one woman were killed as a result. The gunman also killed himself after reportedly using a Glock handgun and an AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle, onto which he had painted a swastika at the store. He was also wearing a bullet-resistant vest.
