United States is still the center of mass shooting in New York. Almost everywhere in the country, mass shooting that are mostly racially motivated has been rampant and most of the culprits are white. The El Paso, Texas mass shooting is probably the most gruesome yet. Today, another incident of nonsensical mass shooting took place in Bufallo, New York.
A white gunman wearing military-style clothing and body armor opened fire with a rifle at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, killing at least 10 people before being taken into custody Saturday afternoon, law enforcement officials told The Associated Press.
Officials said Saturday that the shooter was an 18-year-old white man from “hours away” in New York, who came to Buffalo to inflict harm. The supermarket is in a mostly black neighborhood of the city, and 11 of the victims were black and two were white.
“This was pure evil. It was straight up racially motivated hate crime,” said Eric County Sheriff John Garcia.
Details on the number of additional people shot at the Tops Friendly Market and their conditions weren’t immediately available. The two officials were not permitted to speak publicly on the matter and did so on the condition of anonymity. The suspect was being questioned Saturday evening by the FBI, one of the officials said.
Investigators believe the gunman may have been streaming the shooting through a camera affixed to his helmet, one of the officials said. The video showed the gunman, dressed in military gear, pulling up to the front of the store with a rifle on the front seat and then pointing the rifle at people in the parking lot as he exited the vehicle and opening fire, the official said.
