JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A masked white man fatally shot three Black people inside a Jacksonville, Florida, Dollar General store in a predominately African-American neighborhood on Saturday, in an attack where he used a gun painted with a swastika, officials said. The shooter, who had also posted racist writings, then killed himself.Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters told a news conference that the attack that left two men and one woman dead was definitely “racially motivated.”“He hated Black people,” Waters said after reviewing the man’s writings, which were sent to federal law enforcement officials and at least one media outlet shortly before the attack. He added that the gunman acted alone and “there is absolutely no evidence the shooter is part of any larger group.”Waters said the shooter, who was in his 20s, used a Glock handgun and an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle with at least one of them painted with a swastika. He was wearing a bullet-resistant vest. He said the sho...Dolphins player Daewood Davis carted off field after collision; preseason game vs. Jaguars halted

The entire Miami bench emptied, and Jaguars players also came onto the field as Davis laid face-down on the turf for several minutes.“For Daewood, I don’t think he woke up this morning understanding that there are repercussions playing this sport, that this was going to happen,” said Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who suffered two high-profile concussions last season. “I don’t think anyone wakes up thinking things like that are ...Meet the eco-friendly ‘mermaid’ cleaning oceans one record-breaking swim at a time

(CNN) — When Merle Liivand first started swimming with a monofin to help with her breaststroke practice, she never could have imagined it would one day lead her to becoming a Guinness World record holder – and an eco-friendly ‘mermaid.’The monofin the 32-year-old frequently wears binds her feet together to form one fin and is shaped in such a way that, if seen in the fog, it might just convince an old sea captain that mermaids were real.In April, the Estonian native set a new world record for the furthest swim while wearing a monofin – swimming 31.3 miles around Biscayne Bay, Miami, in 14 hours and 15 minutes.It’s a record she first set in 2019 when she swam 10 kilometers (about 6.21 miles) in California. “So, every 10 months, I’m adding 10 kilometers,” Liivand told CNN Sport in an interview, reflecting on her five consecutive world records.But Liivand doesn’t just break records – when she’s swimming these marathon distances, the Estonian also collects any trash ...Messi scores dazzling goal in MLS debut, leads Miami over New York Red Bulls 2-0
