LOCAL NEWS LIVE: At least 10 dead in mass shooting at Buffalo supermarket
BUFFALO, N.Y. — A gunman wearing military gear and livestreaming with a helmet camera opened fire with a rifle at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket in what authorities described as “racially motived violent extremism,” killing 10 people and wounding three others Saturday before he surrendered, authorities said.
Video also captured the suspect as he walked into the supermarket where he shot several other victims inside, according to authorities. The suspected gunman was later identified as Payton Gendron, 18, of Conklin, a New York state community 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.
Separately, the Rev. Al Sharpton called on the White House to convene a meeting with Black, Jewish and Asian “to underscore the Federal government escalating its efforts against hate crimes.” In a tweet, Sharpton said that “leaders of all these communities should stand together on this!” “He was standing there with the gun to his chin. We were like what the heck is going on? Why does this kid have a gun to his face?” Kephart said. He dropped to his knees. “He ripped off his helmet, dropped his gun, and was tackled by the police.”
