Racist Kentucky Gunman Charged with Hate Crimes

HeadlineNov 16, 2018

In Kentucky, the white man who shot and killed two African-American customers at a grocery store last month has been charged with three hate crimes and three firearm offenses. Before the deadly shooting, Gregory Bush was captured on a surveillance camera trying to force open the doors of a predominantly black church, the First Baptist Church of Jeffersontown, before turning his attention to a nearby Kroger supermarket, where he opened fire and killed Maurice Stallard and Vickie Lee Jones. Bush could face the death penalty for the hate crime charges.
