At least 10 people were killed at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket when a 'heavily armed' gunman carrying an assault-style weapon opened fire on store employees and customers, in what city and federal officials are calling a racially motivated hate crime.
The local FBI office is investigating the case as a hate crime and a tragedy of"racially motivated violent extremism" and called the case the new No. 1 priority of the Justice Department.
"The social media platforms that profit from their existence need to be responsible for monitoring and having surveillance, knowing that they can be, in a sense, an accomplice to a crime like this. Perhaps not legally, but morally - they've created the platform for this hate to be spewed," Hochul said.
At least ten people were killed in a Buffalo, New York, supermarket Saturday afternoon after a gunman carrying a rifle entered the store and opened fire, law enforcement sources said.
