Kentucky police chief describes Kroger shooting as hate crime

Shoppers have returned to the Kroger in Kentucky where two people died last week, but the community is still hurting and grasping for answers.

Gregory Alan Bush, 51, is charged in the shooting deaths of Maurice Stallard, 69, and Vickie Lee Jones, 67. Bush is white; Stallard and Jones were black.

Jeffersontown Police Chief Sam Rogers told the congregation at First Baptist Church on Sunday that the shooting was motivated by racism. He called it “the elephant in the room that some don’t want to acknowledge in this case,”
