The Kentucky Kroger shooting suspect now faces three hate-crime charges and three firearms charges, courtesy of a federal grand jury in Louisville, the Associated Press reports.
U.S. Attorney Russell Coleman said Gregory Bush is charged with killing two people based on their race and attempting to kill a third person based on his race. Bush also was indicted on three firearms charges.
Police said Bush walked into a Kroger grocery store with a .40-caliber handgun on Oct. 24 and shot one person, and then killed another in the parking lot before exchanging fire with an armed man before fleeing.
Bush, 51, was previously indicted in Jefferson County on October 31 on two counts of murder, one count of criminal attempted murder and two counts of first-degree wanton endangerment. All charges are related to the Oct. 24 murders of Maurice Stallard and Vickie Lee Jones, and the attempted murder of survivor Dominic Rozier, who engaged Bush outside of the grocery store.
Bush is white; all three victims are black.
