US shopper uses KKK hood as face covering

Authorities in California have launched a probe after a man was spotted at a grocery store using a Ku Klux Klan hood as a face covering against coronavirus infection. "I am stunned, stunned because it's always sad when somebody, regardless of what the reasoning is, resorts to putting any kind of symbol out there that depicts some kind of hatred," John Minto, the mayor of the town of Santee, near San Diego, told the local ABC station. Images of the man taken by a fellow shopper at a Vons grocery store have sparked outrage and the San Diego Sheriff's Department said it had launched a probe into the incident that took place Saturday.
