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.

Will the police arrest the accessory to attempted murder who sold this idiot a handgun?
Sold to or was stolen from?
Which type of dope helped the shooter become a psychotic?
Unknowable, probably too many to tease out the one drug...
Which shooter video games does he play?
Probably too many to list, let's guess all of them...
What is his source of income?
Likely mommy and daddy, plus student loans...
Nope, "I ain't gonna kill no old-a** man,' he said."

Why is that?
He's since moved downtown, to a house, a big house, a big white house. Just saying.
Just shoot him now.
That poor shopper. Minding her own business, then sprayed with hot lead. All out of nowhere.
So it's settled then. It was a love crime.
A real credit to humanity. At least the Aho could have washed his mug and combed his hair before getting his ass arrested.
“I ain’t gonna kill no old-a** man,’ he said.”
You seem to be laboring under the impression that he shot at an old man.
Are you projecting?
“That poor shopper.”
No kidding. I feel very sorry for her and the nightmares she is going to have for a long time. You don’t easily put something like that out of your mind.
Regardless of the details, this was clearly a crime of hate.
I’m trying to demonstrate the stupidity of using the term “hate crime” solely on the condition of whether it was racially motivated.
My local grocery store welcome CCW in the store. They have sign stating it.
Yes, shooting at people is one thing, but smoking is beyond the pale.
Hope he is hanging from the gallows soon.
This comment would get you banded on twitter.............
“...or was stolen from.”
My bad. He looked too disorganized to steal, unless it was from his own daddy.
Oh. I misunderstood. Good. Cause I’m an an old man
I’m right there with ya!
He does not deserve the death penalty. He needs to enjoy about 60-80 years at hard labor in a prison camp, then die.
Good! Exactly correct.
