1 Killed, 2 Shot Outside Amazon Warehouse In Jacksonville (news4jax.com) 63

A 20-year-old man was killed and two others injured when two suspects opened fire outside an Amazon warehouse in Jacksonville. From a report: According to JSO, the man who was killed was targeted by the shooters who fled from the scene in a silver car. JSO is now searching for three suspects, including the driver of the getaway car. The 20-year-old victim was standing in line for job applications with about six others outside of the facility when the suspects began firing, JSO said. JSO believes the suspects knew the victim.

"We're trying to determine what the motive was why they were after this victim. We have about 10 eyewitnesses that were both inside and outside of the facility," said JSO Assistant Chief Brian Kee. "This does not appear to be a workplace violent incident that you would normally associate with workplace violence or mass shootings." A 29-year-old man was grazed in the arm and a 22-year-old man was grazed in the foot during the shooting. Both were treated and did not require hospitalization, JSO said. People claiming to be family members of Amazon employees at the facility said on social media that employees were placed on lockdown inside.
A woman who said she witnessed the shooting and asked not to be identified said she was just feet away from the man who was killed. "As I started to go back inside the Amazon doors, I turned my head slightly to the right, I saw the gunman standing right there with a gun in his hand and next thing you know he just started shooting," she said. "He just let off about five or six rounds. I stood there in complete shock because I couldn't believe what was actually happening in front of my face."

      It's worse than that. At least the 10 o'clock news would have explained what a JSO is.

            That's the whole point. You had to go to the TFA for something that should have been in the TFS if /. had anything that could remotely be called an editor.

      This has nothing to do with technology. It isn't "news for nerds." It is hardly even news, when compared to, say, Chicago, instead.... Just this past weekend in Chicago, 63 people shot, 16 of them killed. Almost all black on black with illegally obtained/possessed/carried guns and with severe "gun control". And, of course, Democrat. And this is pretty much ALL THE TIME, week after week, year after year. But, no, it isn't news. Doesn't fit the narratives the media wants to push. Instead, we get to read about 1 killed outside an Amazon warehouse.

        Wait... people ask if the victims and the perps were democrats or republicans now? Your country is fucked up.

          Yes, in some ways it is. The point being is that almost all the large, crime-ridden cities are run by the same party. Perhaps the party of large government, large social programs, large "gun control", reparations, quotas, government unions, identity politics, etc, makes the problems there worse.

      Because it makes Amazon look bad, duh!

      Haven't you noticed, how, after bashing Walmart for years, all eyes are on Amazon now?

    Why can't you get this one thing right slashdot?

  • Well that sucks....But very typical. Its the System that is keeping the working man down. We should make a law that says Murder is illegal. The suspects and the victim must be non-white as any useful appearance information is not present in the reporting. This is black on black crime, Move along, nothing to see, this doesn't exist, stop changing the subject.
    • No news outlet gave a description of the attacker despite interviewing a witness. I assume this means they donâ(TM)t want to admit any details about the attacker and victim.

  • ... hospitalization? Or does the term "hospitalization" only refer to when you actually have to stay overnight at a hospital, and not when you are simply an in-out patient treated in less time than you might have spent waiting in triage.
    • You don't think EMTs can put a bandage on a wound and tell a patient to follow up with their physician? Hell, I'd expect that so I could avoid an ER visit in an overpriced ambulance.
