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.

Always carry.
“ Another mentally ill criminal that should never see the light of day again but these days who knows.”
Hell, the FBI is already on it, recruiting this guy for future false flags.
“plus student loans...”
Well, Biden will take care of that for him. America’s fiat currency at work.
And the presses go Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The skaters will prosecute the vendor who sold him a cigar. If it were me sentencing, I’d give him thirty for attempted murder, but shave off fifteen for pure style.
Wow! How did skaters get substituted for Karens?
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?

You bring up a point that has crossed my mind several times. Me or the kid?
Save the kid. I’ve had my run, made my contributions, wife is taken care of if I go first. Most kids are worth the trade, in spite of what the mass media tells us.
Me Old Fart, Armed, and can shoot straight.
Carry every all day.
Short barrel.
At how many yards?
If you miss at the range with a pistol, you’re a prett bad shot? 75 yard minimum, depending on your pistol of course, you should be able to hit your target, no?
You make it sound like being a good shot with a good handgun is difficult.
The video is like an ad appealing to hormonal troubled male teens to go out with a bang.
Shooting at a range is nothing like shooting on the field, especially under pressure. Add a moving target, and you’ll be lucky to get one hit in a magazine.
Pull a gun out of your holster, point downrange and pop off six quick snap-shots at a torso sized target 25 yards away. You’ll mostly miss.
Target shooting - draw, aim, breathe and squeeze - is nothing like shooting under pressure.
“Pull a gun out of your holster, point downrange and pop off six quick snap-shots at a torso sized target 25 yards away. You’ll mostly miss.”
Probably true for people who don’t shoot often. For people who shoot regularly, not so much.
“Shooting at a range is nothing like shooting on the field, especially under pressure. Add a moving target, and you’ll be lucky to get one hit in a magazine.”
The first part of that is true. The second part depends on the distances.
Why are so many young people shooting up places now?
Luckily, the woman ducked and got away pretty quickly.
The Georgetown neighborhood of Fort Wayne, Indiana, is 700 miles from Washington, DC.
