A white man who gunned down two African-American people at Kroger Marketplace in the Louisville suburb of Jeffersontown in Kentucky also tried to enter a predominantly Black church in the area minutes before the attack, according to police.
Vickie Lee Jones, 67, and Maurice Stallard, 69, were killed on Wednesday. Suspect Gregory Bush, 51, was jailed with bail set at $5 million on two counts of murder and 10 counts of felony wanton endangerment. On Friday afternoon, a federal prosecutor said the shooting is being investigated as a possible hate crime.
Before Bush showed up at the grocery store, surveillance video shows him trying to enter the First Baptist Church in Jeffersontown, according to police Chief Sam Rogers. There were reportedly eight to 10 people inside the church at the time.
