White Supremacist Murders At Least 10 Black Shoppers At NY Grocery Store Mass Shooting
The 18-year-old killer—a white supremacist (as seen above while being arrested) whose online manifesto was focused on “white replacement theory,” a right-wing talking point propagated by Tucker Carlson and Fox News—was taken into custody after opening fire on black shoppers and employees in a Tops grocery store in Buffalo, New York. At least 10 are dead, while three sustained non life-threatening injuries. Via BNO:
A man has opened fire at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York while live-streaming on Twitch, killing at least 10 people and injuring several others, local officials and witnesses say. He also posted an online manifesto in which he described himself as a white supremacist.
The incident began on early Saturday afternoon when police were called for an active shooter at Tops Markets at 1275 Jefferson Avenue in Buffalo. Upon arrival, officers found victims both inside and outside the supermarket.
The exact number of victims was not immediately clear, but officials told The Buffalo News that at least 10 people were killed and 3 injured, including two who were in critical condition. A recently retired Buffalo police officer who worked security at the store is among those killed.
Saturday’s attack was live-streamed on Twitch and screenshots from the recording showed horrific scenes, including a woman who is shot in the head as she walks outside the store. In other screenshots, victims can be seen on the floor of the supermarket.
