Florida Governor Allocates $1 Million to Enhance Security at Targeted Black College

A white gunman's plan to carry out a racially motivated shooting at Florida's first historically Black university was thwarted by a campus police officer, who chased the gunman from the campus before he went on to kill three Black people at a nearby store. The shooter, Ryan Christopher Palmeter, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after the shooting. Authorities found manifestos detailing his hatred for Black people. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis pledged $1 million to increase security at the university and condemned the shooting, while some black leaders criticized his government's attack on Black history.
