FBI Claims Ohio Walmart Shooting May Have Been Racially Motivated
Topline
The FBI and Beavercreek Police Department said in a statement Wednesday that a shooting that left four injured at a Walmart in Ohio on Monday may have been “at least partially inspired by” racial extremism, citing evidence collected from the shooter including journal writings.

Key Facts
The victims injured in the attack include two Black women, a white woman and a white man, three of whom were in critical condition and one of whom had non-life threatening injuries as of Tuesday.
The shooter, identified as Benjamin Charles Jones, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after the shooting, though the FBI is still seeking information regarding the 20-year-old, according to the Beavercreek Police Department.
Law enforcement said in the Wednesday statement that Jones used a .45 caliber carbine with one nine-round magazine that was purchased Nov. 18 from a store in the Dayton, Ohio area.
Investigators, who did not disclose the contents of Jones’ journal writings, are determining if any of Jones’ answers on his firearm paperwork were inaccurate.
The Beavercreek Police Department did not immediately respond to Forbes’ request for comment.
Big Number
2,400%. That’s how much higher the number of extremist-linked violent plots were in the three-year period of 2018-2021 compared to the three-year period of 1990-1993, according to the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, which also found that most violent plots are planned by far-right extremists.
Key Background
Capt. Chad Lindsey, acting Beavercreek Police Department chief, said during a Tuesday press conference that Jones walked into the store with the carbine and appeared to shoot indiscriminately at patrons. Lindsey added that the shooter was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound seven minutes after the first 911 call was made. The attack happened less than a week after the U.S. surpassed 600 mass shootings this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive, which defines mass shootings as events in which there are at least four injuries or deaths, not including the shooter. The U.S. is on pace for 700 mass shootings in 2023, according to the archive, which would be the highest number recorded by the archive since it started tracking data in 2014.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are preparing to face the Oregon Ducks in the Rose Bowl in what they hope will serve as some desirable revenge.
Remember: Oregon defeated Ohio State back in Week 7, handing the Buckeyes their first loss of the season. The Ducks would go on to go undefeated. Ohio State went 10-2 (now 11-2 thanks to its win over the Tennessee Volunteers).
The first meeting between the two teams was close, with Oregon emerging with a 32-21 victory. For on of the only times this season, the Buckeyes’ defense looked vulnerable.
But there was one player in particular who looked particularly exposed: cornerback Denzel Burke.
Burke entered the season widely considered one of the best cornerbacks in the country and was also viewed as a potential first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
However, his performance against the Ducks altered his fate.
Burke surrendered eight catches for 179 yards and was burned for a couple of touchdowns in Ohio State’s loss, and since then, the 22-year-old has not quite looked the same.
His draft stock has plummeted, and his confidence also appears to have been adversely affected.
And it all started in Eugene, Or. back in October.
Can Burke right the ship and come through with a bounceback showing against the top-ranked eam in the country?
The Buckeyes will need Burke. That’s for sure. After all, Oregon boasts one of the most explosive offenses in the country, and that’s due much in part to the Ducks’ high-octane aerial attack led by quarterback Dillon Gabriel.
Not only that, but Burke needs it for himself. A strong outing versus the Ducks would go a long way in gaining the attention of NFL scouts once again, and it could serve as a springboard for Burke the remainder of the College Football Playoff.
Burke has lost a bit of his shine since that disastrous performance at Oregon. If there is any Ohio State player who desperately needs revenge on New Year’s Day, it’s Burke.
