Authorities say a heavily armed white teenager fired 50 shots outside and inside a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, in a “racially motivated hate crime” that killed 10 and wounded 3.
Police have arrested an 18-year-old man. Authorities said the shooter live-streamed the Saturday attack.
The attacker shot four individuals in a Tops grocery parking lot around 2:30 p.m., killing three. He went into the store and was met by a retired Buffalo cop working security.
The guard shot and hit the culprit, but the body armor stopped the bullets.
The gunman shot nine more individuals, authorities said.
Our sources confirmed, Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said on Sunday that cops hurried toward the gunfire after hearing about the shooting within a minute.
Gramaglia said the man threatened to shoot himself when he saw the officers. Officers de-escalated the situation and coaxed the subject into dropping the gun.
“He got down on his knees and started taking off his tactical gear, and they took them,” Gramagilia recalled.
Authorities say 11 of the 13 victims were black and two were white.
Authorities said four of the deaths were employees and the others were clients.
A Buffalo police officer working security was slain, an official said. Mayor Byron Brown named him Aaron Salter Jr.
Gramagilia called Salter a hero. “He fought. He approached gunshots.”
Gramagilia claimed the man fired 50 bullets and had five loaded magazines when arrested.
Three non-life-threatening gunshot wounds were reported.
Brown lowered flags at police stations, fire stations, and Niagara Square in Buffalo.
Payton Gendron, of Conklin, New York, was charged with first-degree murder and jailed without bail on Saturday, according to Erie County District Attorney John Flynn. His office investigates terrorism, he said.
Authorities said the suspect traveled from a New York county to Buffalo.
Gramagilia said the suspect arrived in Buffalo Friday.
“It appears he came here to scout out the region, to perform some reconnaissance work on the area,” Gramagilia added. Mayor Brown called the shooting “every community’s worst nightmare”
Gendron legitimately purchased the AR-15 assault-style rifle used in the Buffalo supermarket shooting, Gov. Kathy Hochul said.
Hochul said the firearm had an illegal “enhanced magazine”
FBI is investigating the attack as a hate crime and racial extremism.
Our sources also said the shooter may have had online extremist ideas.
A 180-page essay believed to have been put online by Gendron before the massacre is a hate-filled rant obsessed on “replacement theory,” a white supremacist idea that non-whites would replace whites because they have higher birth rates.
Gendron, the document’s putative author, uses racist and anti-Semitic stereotypes. He supplied images of himself and explained why he decided to attack, using replacement theory.
Multiple internet postings related with the shooter praise Dylann Roof and Brenton Tarrant, according to the paper.
The affidavit further details his alleged attack, including time, place, and method. The affidavit claims he even sketched out his planned route through the store and picked the Buffalo Tops market since it is a primarily Black neighborhood.
Gendron allegedly wrote that he could be killed, but he’d plead guilty if he lived and went to trial.
Erie County Sheriff John Garcia: “This was nasty.” “It was a racially motivated hate crime from someone outside our community”
The reality of the people after the tragedy speaks volumes that may last longer than the average lifetime…

A woman on the scene speaks volumes of the pork that just happened. Though we can’t claim to know her is not the point. The moment and the filling of the void is what we understand. This is a perfect example of “It’s your World, Their moment, You decide” by an average human being doing the right thing in a moment that’s not directly hers but indirectly is because she seems to understand that every living human makes the World go around in one way or another based on what we ourselves do in a moment we are presented with. Check her out below.
isthatporks take; we don’t have to tell you that this is pork cause we’re sure you understand it is. Original sin has long arms dating back to colonialism and imperialism to the fact that once everything is stripped from you what do you have?..who are you? … meaning what “Atom” is present? what life equation? what’s the atomic number that gets you a human that treats another human, other than a human. That type of person, with a certain attitude, that’ll do a certain thing?. Present allowances that allow a governer to change laws to condemn people who seek to know the truth of history because “they don’t wanna take any responsibility for what others did because it makes them feel uncomfortable” even though they act in the same fashion of their predecessors “in energy” should tell you something and be a red flag. Yes, you guessed it, the “Atomic” number always goes back to the individual in what they’re doing, while they’re doing it, while they’re alive, and could be traced back to an earlier moment in time, oftentimes from someone else. The truth is, we do it to ourselves. But we have a choice. This kid who did this just ate the forbidden fruit of mankind that many of us before him and around him prepared for him. That’s a shame! at least this lady in the above video with her heartfelt comments is eating the right food. Maybe some of us will eat that instead of the plate that got this kid in a heap of trouble by killing 10, injuring 2, affecting families forever, and destroying himself. What a void to leave mankind.
isthatporks deeper take; there’s certainly a lot of deep-rooted pork going on here. Things like liking Dylan Roof, having a journal 180 pages long outlining his negative beliefs, and writing on the weapon he used to destroy precious lives is a life equation that should be easy to understand and avoided at all costs. But, the question now is, how do you see this and what are you gonna do about it? If you are reading this or have heard about it, it’s now in your orbit so your only question should be what are you gonna do which should be the answer to the world you want to live in now and the one you want to leave behind. Certainly, there’s a lot of pork here that’ll last a very long time outliving many generations to come. But it’s “Your World, His Moment, So Yes, You Should Decide!”
Hopefully, you choose correctly for all our sake!
