DeSantis pledges $1m to boost security at historically Black college after racist shooting

Florida governor, who said additional $100,000 would be give to charity for victims' family, was booed at vigil for victims

The Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, has announced $1m for heightened security at a historically Black college, a day after he was booed at a memorial gathering for victims of a deadly racist shooting in his state.

DeSantis said his administration would give $1m to Edward Waters University to enhance its security after the gunman in this weekend's racist killings at a Dollar General store in Jacksonville tried to enter the historically Black college but was denied entry.
