Hundreds of people gathered at prayer vigils and in church after the killing of three black people in Florida by a white, 21-year-old man.Following services earlier in the day, about 200 people showed up at a Sunday evening vigil near the Dollar General store in Jacksonville where officials said Ryan Palmeter opened fire on Saturday using guns he bought legally despite a past involuntary commitment for a mental health exam.Authorities say Palmeter left behind white supremacist ramblings that read like "the diary of a madman".Republican governor Ron DeSantis - who is running for the party's nomination for president, has loosened gun laws in Florida and antagonised civil rights leaders by deriding "wokeness" - was loudly booed as he addressed the vigil.Ju'Coby Pittman, a Jacksonville city councilwoman who represents the neighbourhood where the shooting happened, stepped in to ask the crowd to listen.
