YORK, Pa. (AP) — A man who had been kicked out of a bar following his racial remarks to a black patron later shot and killed another man who may have gone outside to try to make peace, police said.

The victim, Chad Merrill, was shot early Saturday outside the Red Rose Restaurant and Lounge in Hellam Township. The man who was kicked out of the bar, James Saylor, was arrested and was charged with criminal homicide, police said.

Witnesses told investigators that just before the shooting Saylor had an argument with the black man and after some racial remarks he was removed from the bar.

Surveillance video showed Saylor going to his pickup truck and firing at the building, authorities said. Video showed Merrill walking outside in the direction of Saylor's truck and then falling to the ground, they said.

This is just sad. Yet we are supposed to "reach out" to these people.

R.I.P. to the poor soul who tried to do something.

has not worked with tRump. He is the biggest racist there is, and he spreads the hate daily. RIP to the young man who tried to cool the situation down.

Just looking for an excuse to "protect" themselves. Murder by any other name is still murder. I hope this guy spends the rest if his life in jail.

Unfortunately, you've earned yourself probably several dozen indignant replies from self-described "responsible gun-owners" who will insist you don't know anything about gun culture, and deserve to have your house broken into because you oppose 'sensible home and personal protection measures'.

But don't worry; most of them will be trolls...

Fasten your seltbelt.
