Terrifying moment supermarket shooter lights up cigar and opens fire on innocent shopper in horrifying rampage
Daily Mail ^ | May 24, 2024 | Nic White

Posted on 05/25/2024 6:30:37 AM PDT by lowbridge

A gunman has filmed himself opening fire in a supermarket after hunting around the store for 'someone good' - and failing to hit them.

Richard Klaff, 20, broadcast the shooting live on Facebook as he prepared for and carried out the attack on a Kroger in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

He began about 6.15pm on Thursday by lighting up a cigar in a bathroom upstairs from the Georgetown Kroger, claiming 'I'm gonna shoot 11 people... watch'.

He cocked the pistol several times before heading downstairs and wandering around the supermarket looking for the right target.

'Which one am I gonna choose? Let me find someone good real quick, I ain't gonna kill no old-a** man,' he said.

Klaff bragged about walking through a supermarket with a gun and flashed it to the camera in one of the aisles.

'I'm going out with a bang... baby watch,' he said.

Klaff eventually spotted a black woman at what appeared to be a deli or bakery counter, and marked her for death.

'Oh yeah, I see one, I see one,' he said, then fired six rounds at her, all of which missed and no one was injured.

Klaff's chosen target raised fears that the shooting was racially motivated, but it was not clear whether this was the case, or if she was the first black shopper he saw.

The gunman fled the store after firing as the video ended. He was arrested in another store nearby soon after the shooting.

He was charged with three counts of attempted murder and one count of criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon and locked up in the Allen County Jail.

It’s hard enough to hit a human-sized target at the range under no pressure.

Shap shots with a pistol tend to go anywhere other than where they are aimed.

At the very least, he could go after a Karen as I’m sure a whole bunch of them would quickly converge on him given that he lit up a cigar indoors.

Yes, because it's important to know whether this was a hate crime or a love crime.

Known unstable mental case that was ignored because we need a white shooter for gun control.

Random Questions (rhetorical; not expecting answers):

Will the police arrest the accessory to attempted murder who sold this idiot a handgun?

Which type of dope helped the shooter become a psychotic?

Which shooter video games does he play?

What is his source of income?

Also that this one left old farts like me alone. :)

Mind, this is a justification for two things: concealed carry and buy old farts guns. Afterall, if I get shot while taking out an arshole like this what is the loss?

Georgetown Kroger? Washington DC suburb?

I wonder if this guy was a recipient of a sucker punch, that so often occurs in ghetto towns. Georgetown is where the Exorcist demon resided. Just saying.
