(Reuters) – An 18-year-old gunman shot 10 folks to dying and wounded three others at a grocery story in Buffalo, New York, earlier than he surrendered to police in what authorities mentioned can be investigated as a hate crime and an act of “racially motivated violent extremism.”
Authorities mentioned the white suspect, who was armed with an assault-style rifle and appeared to have acted alone, got here to Buffalo from a New York county “hours away” to focus on the shop in a predominantly Black neighborhood. Eleven of the 13 folks struck by gunfire have been Black, and two have been white, officers mentioned.
