Mass shooting at Buffalo supermarket leaves at least 10 dead in “racially motivated” attack

A shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York left at least 10 dead as police say the suspect possibly live-streamed his actions on social media.

Vigils and prayers services were being held across the city Sunday after authorities said a teenage gunman, wearing tactical gear and a livestreaming camera, killed 10 people and wounded three more in a hate-fueled shooting rampage at a busy supermarket.

Eleven of the 13 people who were shot were Black, Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said. The suspect, who was taken into custody at the scene, is white. The FBI is investigating the shooting as a hate crime and racially-motivated violent extremism.

  8. They said he drove 200 miles to do this at that grocery. I wonder how he knew that store. It reminds me of the El Paso, TX incident. Condolences to all the families that lost loved ones. This is horrible.

    1. He was researching locations with the highest number of bIk people. A witness said he was scoping the place out for about a week pretending to use the WiFi. This was extremely organized behavior.

    2. @RIP Saebri Yeah, the kid that traveled to El Paso went there because of the higher population of Hispanic people. It’s just a sad situation.

    1. @Lone wolf nope, not at all, not diminishing what the punk did – merely pointing out a double standard that is present in the media.

  10. They always run up on the innocent that aren’t ready or armed. Never on brothas on the block that are bout that same life. Cowards!!!

  11. Quite interesting how it’s never hatred, bigotry, intolerance, or anything akin when someone states, “I don’t hate you. I hate the sin.” Quite interesting, indeed. Suddenly, wrong becomes right. Like magic. Pulse Nightclub.
