NEW YORK, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) -- A shooting at a Dollar General store in Jacksonville, U.S. state of Florida, left at least four people dead, including the shooter, on Saturday afternoon, Fox News reported.

Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters said in a press conference that the victims were all black people, including two men and one woman.

The suspect, a White male in his early 20s, was armed with a high-powered rifle and a handgun, wearing a tactical vest, according to police.

"He hated black people," Waters told reporters.

Police believed that the suspect acted alone, and no evidence suggested that he was part of a large group.
