A white gunman motivated by hate and dressed in tactical gear killed 10 people and wounded three others Saturday afternoon at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket, officials said.
The suspect, an 18-year-old man dressed in tactical gear, was taken into custody after shooting 13 people at the Tops Friendly Market supermarket, Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said.A Twitch spokesperson said the platform has investigated and confirmed that the stream was removed “less than two minutes after the violence started.”
In a written statement, Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said the Justice Department is “is investigating this matter as a hate crime and an act of racially-motivated violent extremism.” Brown said he had helped bring the Tops Friendly Market on Jefferson Avenue to the Black community and that many people he knew, as well as his own family, patronized the store.
The officers talked him into surrendering. The suspect removed his tactical gear before officers took him into custody, he said. Investigators are looking into where and how those weapons — a semiautomatic rifle, a hunting rifle and a shotgun — were purchased, the official said.
