Deputies pulled the suspect over and took him into custody without incident.

Truth help
This one not being coverage elsewhere?
The shooter is black....in this day and age that has to be included in the title or at least the initial headline....C'mon do better.
Is he color blind?………….. His inmates are going to have fun with him.
LOL, what a garbage headline! So what, he was black, stop trying to make this a racist crime!
Terrible
The suspect was black as well.
Waiting for this to show up elsewhere on Twitter, with the poster screaming 'white supremacy' or, if they know the perp is black (since this article leaves that out), claiming he 'identifies as white'. Not unlike the early hours of the closed I-5 'lives splatter'.
Hmmm
Shame on you your headline fuels the fire because most wont even realize the shooter was NOT white. The media is poisoning our world.
They conveniently forgot to mention that the suspect himself is Black. Anyone care to comment on their agenda not to mention this?
Black man shoots other black people and claims he doesn’t like black peoples because they kill each other! I FIXED YOUR HEADLINE AS YOU LEFT OUT A KEY FACT
The suspect is black, which should have been reported along with his racist statements.
The name of the accused shooter is Mamadou, which means 'Muhamad' and is a name of African origin. Am I missing something here?
He's gonna make lots of new friends where he's going.
Yeah, well, I hope he likes hot dogs cause that’s all that’s on the menu for him.
Eye for an eye, get rid of him and feed him to some hogs!
Is not the shooter black himself?
Having difficulty understanding if this guy is of a certain demographic, or is he a white guy? Since skin colour is of the utmost importance.
N
why do you show a white guy when the shooter is black are you trying to trick people into thinking he was white or is this just another race baiting news story.
