A man is facing charges after being accused of firing shots into an Asian grocery store inside a plaza in Evendale on Sunday. According to court documents, witnesses said a man pulled up to the shopping plaza and fired several shots into Tokyo Foods. Court documents state the man walked around the lot and fired more shots into the business. According to court documents, there were nine people inside a neighboring business when the shooting took place. Several of them took shelter inside a bathroom. When officers arrived on the scene, police said the man was found in the parking lot with a pistol in hand and was taken into custody. Officers said the man was making comments that weren't making sense, saying he was the "president of Tokyo" and that the "Tokyo foods" was "not in compliance," court documents state. The man, identified as Daniel Beckjord, 33, has been charged with five counts of felonious assault and one count of improperly discharging a firearm at or into a habitation. "When the defendant was taken into custody and Mirandized, he began saying nonsensical things like the reason that he was out of business was because he was the president of Tokyo and that Tokyo Foods was not in compliance. And that he was investigating sex trafficking, among other things, indicating the defendant was suffering from some mental illness," prosecutor David wood said.

A search warrant was conducted at Beckjord's home, where additional weapons, ammunition, magazines and bulletproof vests were located. A subsequent warrant for drug violations was also served. "We also found a very large marijuana grow operation within the house. There's a subsequent search warrant that's being executed currently in regard to that. So there will be a multitude of further charges coming," officer Steve Roach, with the Evendale Police Department, said. Officials say the motive for the shooting remains unclear at this time and the investigation is ongoing. Police said as the investigation continues, additional charges may be filed. Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval posted to Twitter, commenting on the shots fired incident, writing, "This news is disturbing and unacceptable, and just days after the tragic Monterrey Park shooting that has many in the AAPI community grieving. We continue to strongly condemn these horrific acts of violence and hate. My heart is with every person impacted by these recent events."

Can people take a break from shooting guns for 1 damn day?

My city folks. We should be concerned by someone this mentally unstable having access to a gun. Especially months after having a gun charge against him.

You could probably find a gun after a couple of days of dumpster diving in most American cities.
