Man arrested after witnesses say gunman shouted "F*** the ni**ers!" and fired shot at crowded campai
Source: NBC
Beaumont police arrested a white male and were questioning a handful of other individuals at a West End home just hours after an apparent racially-charged shooting at the campaign headquarters of Jefferson County Sheriff candidate Zena Stephens.
Stephens told 12News she was standing outside her headquarters with a group of people in the 500 block of S. 11th Street when a white male in a white Jeep pulled up and shouted "f*** the ni**ers". Seconds later, the man fired a shot into a front window of the building, shattering the glass.
No one was hurt and no bullet was immediately found. Police believe the weapon used may have been a pellet or Airsoft gun. Stephens said roughly 20 other people were inside at the time.
Around 10:45 p.m. Monday 12News was outside a home in the 8500 block of Newfield as Beaumont police arrested a white male wearing a white t-shirt and shorts. Also outside the home was an older-model white Jeep with the same license plate as the shooter's, a witness told 12News.
