At about 9 p.m., family members said they were standing in the front yard when a car drove past the home. Jeffrey Tyler Kinzer, who officials identified as the suspect, was reportedly leaning out of the window, shouting racial slurs at the group.
Hes talking junk. He started yelling the N-word, Ramell Green, a witness said. He kept going so we let him go. We just discussed what had happened after.
The person who lives at the home also said that she called the Lee County Sheriffs Office after Kinzer left. But about five minutes later, Kinzer and the driver returned.
This time, Kinzer was reportedly wearing body armor and carrying an AR-15-style rifle.
Those outside spotted the suspect with the gun from a distance and began running, Green said. Then Kinzer opened fire, and Green said a bullet flew past him.
...People started taking positions because they saw he had a gun. And I was in the middle of the street, Green said. And I grabbed my gun and started returning fire and moving with him.

(52,854 posts)I have looked down the road and the reality is that if there was a draft started because we had an immediate emergency to deal with, we're fucked. All of us. No one is going to trust the groups of white supremacists that will bandy together in the barracks. It's going to be a mess. Right now they have cover because the military is looking the other way. But the day it really counts, we're going to have to deal with this fault line at the same time that we have to fight the enemy.

Looking forward to the additional charges Kinzer catches. Tiny little shoulders, he's probably not going to do well in prison where he's going. AR, body armor, element of surprise - still gets his ass shot by return fire. Thankfully, nobody of value appears to have been injured.
