CWN Editor's Note: A shooting in Jacksonville (FL) on August 26 claimed the lives of three people.

“It has come to light that the shooter’s motivations were fueled by hatred and bigotry, as he targeted innocent lives solely because of their race,” said Bishop Erik Pohlmeier of St. Augustine. “This reprehensible act reminds us of the deep-seated wounds that still afflict our society — wounds rooted in prejudice and racism.”
