Ohio Walmart Shooter Suspected of Racially Motivated Violent Extremism

FBI investigates 20-year-old Benjamin Charles Jones, who shot four people before killing himself, for potential ties to extremist ideology.

Benjamin Charles Jones, the 20-year-old suspect in the Ohio Walmart shooting, may have been inspired by racially motivated violent extremist ideology, according to the FBI.
Jones used a Hi-Point .45 caliber carbine to shoot four people at a Walmart in Beavercreek, near Dayton, Ohio, before turning the gun on himself.
The victims include two Black women, a white man, and a white woman.
Nazi flags were found during a search of Jones' house in Dayton, and he had previously posted about guns on social media.
The gun used in the shooting was bought from a store in Dayton just two days before the incident, and the FBI is investigating whether any of the answers on the ATF Form 4473 needed for the purchase were inaccurate.
