BUFFALO, N.Y. — A gunman opened fire with a rifle Saturday at a Tops Friendly Markets supermarket in Buffalo, New York, in what authorities called a “hate crime and racially motived violent extremism,” killing 10 people and wounding three others before being taken in custody, law enforcement officials said.
Police officials said the gunman opened fire with a rifle at around 2:30 p.m. Investigators believe he may have been streaming the shooting through a camera affixed to his helmet, one of the officials said.
The video showed the gunman 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.
According to police, 13 people were shot in total, with three suffering apparent non-life-threatening injuries. Officials say four of the victims were employees. Erie County District Attorney John Flynn says 11 of the victims were African American, while two were white. The ages of the victims has not been released.
According to Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia, four victims were shot in the store’s parking lot, with three succumbing to injuries. Gramaglia says the suspect then went inside the store, and began engaging with those inside. Among those fatally shot was a security guard, who was a recently retired Buffalo police officer.
Gramaglia says police engaged the suspect in the store’s vestibule, at which point he put a gun to his neck own, but surrendered to authorities after officers worked to get him to drop his weapon.
The suspect was identified as Payton Gendron, an 18-year-old white male from Conklin, about 200 miles southeast of Buffalo, two law enforcement officials told The Associated Press. The 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, and was expected to appear in court later Saturday. The suspect is a former student at SUNY Broome.

They make sure they identify the race and file hate crime charges practically every single time the guy isn't black.

I wonder how the leftist media will try and spin this? The guy is a commie, hates FOX News. I want to see Doocy bring that up with the new black lesbian (those are the only "qualities" the Biden administration cares about) press secretary on Monday. I'm betting Jean-Pierre won't call on FOX reporters.

When I made cosmetics deliveries in late 70s for this woman in the old neighborhood, she had this purple fluid that would take kinks out of black's hair. I would deliver it by the gallon to beauty shops on south side.
She told me, "Don't take any checks from those people." I collected CASH. By the time I finished I had $500 to $800 on me. I stayed OFF THE SIDE STREETS. And I ALWAYS carried a pistol.
But one time I was making right turn at 95th and Stony Island. There was a KABOOM off to my left. I floored the Blazer and got out of there.
I looked at driver door later and there were ding marks on it like maybe they had shot a .410 at me.
Some of those people just did not like whites. :-/

Where are the parents to discuss their kid’s mental illness? Notice how immediately Al Sharpton assembled the race brigade?
Then there is the whole live streaming, body armor, and the fact he drove 200 miles to commit a crime.
This was an op. You will find a fed or two in this if you look hard enough.
