Black Suspect Accused of Two Day Long Shooting Spree Was Targeting White Males, According to Police
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] Justin Tyran Roberts, a 39-year-old black man, was targeting white males in his two day long shooting spree that spanned two states, according to police.

Roberts is accused of shooting and wounding five people in Georgia and Alabama over the weekend.

Detective Brandon Lockhart testified on Monday that Roberts told police that "white men had picked on him and wronged him for all his life," according to a report from the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer.

"Basically, he explained throughout his life, specifically white males had taken from him, and also what he described as military-looking white males had taken from him," Detective Lockhart said.

The police do not believe that there was any connection between Roberts and the victims, all of whom are expected to recover.

The five shootings took place during three separate assaults in Columbus, Georgia and Phenix City, Alabama.

Roberts appeared in court on Monday for his preliminary hearing regarding one of the incidents where he shot a man in the back who was entering his vehicle.

Lockhart testified that Roberts said, "I had to have him," about the victim, according to the Ledger-Enquirer’s report.

"Roberts also claimed that such men were ’shooting at him in a wooded area with a slingshot,’ and the wounds had infected his skin, Lockhart testified. But he said police saw no injuries to substantiate that," the report explains.

The public defender representing Roberts has requested that he undergo a mental health evaluation and claims he was suffering from "delusions."

"The officer’s testimony has demonstrated that Mr. Roberts is having delusions and a disconnect from reality," King told the judge.

#8 Remember when a two day two state shooting spree would make the news while it was occurring.... Guess the news knew the MO before it was done and put a lid on that one.
