Four people were injured in the incident at the Beavercreek store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The man who opened fire at a Beavercreek Walmart<\/u><\/a> and wounded four people, may have been at least partially motivated by “racially or ethnically motivated violent,” ideologies, the FBI said Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Investigators said they are still going through evidence, including the journals of attacker Benjamin Charles Jones, and are still probing Monday’s incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Around 8:36 p.m. the gunman entered the Walmart and shot four people, who were shopping at the time, currently identified as two Black women, a white woman and a white man, according to the FBI. The victims were all transported to local hospitals, three were in critical condition and a fourth had non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When officers arrived at the store at 8:42 p.m. they found the gunman dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The FBI said the 20-year-old man legally bought the .45 caliber handgun on Nov. 18 from a store in the Dayton area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Investigators are continuing to look at the background of the subject to determine if any answers on his ATF form 4473 were inaccurate,” the agency said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The FBI is asking anyone who has information about the gunman to contact the FBI at 1-800-Call-FBI (1-800-2255-324) or at tips.fbi.gov<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
