It all started during a fight between 37-year-old Lakeem Keon Scott and a white man in Bristol, Tennessee. Unhappy with the outcome of the ordeal, Scott later decided to get revenge, so he armed himself and headed out.
According to police, Scott brought a rifle, pistol, and a large amount of ammunition to the local Days Inn motel where he immediately began firing. Deborah Watts, the clerk at the front door, was hit first – butthis is where things took a turn.
For reasons unknown, Scott ditched his plans to shoot up the motel and turned his attention on a nearby highway.
He randomly shot at cars, before hitting 44-year-old Jennifer Rooney, killing her. Rooney was the mother of two and was on the way to work when Scott killed her. Her car careened off the road and crashed through a fence.
Scott continued to fire at vehicles, injuring at least one more motorist. The police showed up and engaged Scott in a firefight. Officer Matthew Cousins of the Bristol PD was struck in the leg. (Source: DownTrend)
With one woman dead and another three injured, Scott’s mass shooting violently ended as police shot him several times. The thug reportedly was taken to an area hospital and is expected to recover – but things only got worse from there.
After being asked why he decided to do something so horrendous, Scott simply explained that “he was angry about police violence against African Americans.” Police further report that all of Scott’s victims and intended victims had one thing in common — they were all white.
