According to the alleged manifesto, the suspect targeted Blacks, motivated by the belief that he was responding to a campaign to “replace” the White race. So I want to make sure that I have the best charge right now to hold him in custody and get this matter moving forward before I add any other charges on it. His alleged manifesto also expressed hatred toward Jews, and suggests “Arabs,” Asians and other non-white ethnicities do not belong in a “White civilization.” Social media accounts are suggesting the alleged shooter released a manifesto and “to-do” list prior to the attack. The gunman, reported to be a young white male, was in police custody according to law enforcement agencies. The alleged shooter was taken into police custody and was scheduled to be arraigned Saturday evening.

By then, the police had arrived, and he briefly put a gun to his neck before he began removing tactical gear as a form of surrender and the police tackled him. But the recovery process is extremely painful, as documented in this photo essay. It’s the magazine’s health issue, all about body modifications. He was arrested at the store and pleaded not guilty in a brief court appearance. He went on to stalk victims throughout the store; “bodies were everywhere,” one witness said. Four worked at the Tops grocery. The view is known as “replacement theory” and was once linked to the far-right fringe, but it has become increasingly mainstream.

Saturday’s shooting had the same number of fatalities as a shooting by a transit system employee last May at a light-rail facility in San Jose, according to the archive. When police arrived at the store, Gendron put a gun to his neck but was ultimately persuaded to surrender, Gramaglia said. In February, six people were killed in Corsicana, Tex., when a man targeted members of his family. Until then, the deadliest shooting this year took place on April 3 in downtown Sacramento, where six died and a dozen were injured after multiple shooters fired on a stretch of bars and nightclubs. “She could have probably done a number of other things with her life and with her talents, but she chose to use them on us,” Garnell said. “We have to rally as a family around my father and make sure that he’s well cared for,” he said. Salter was inspired to undertake that project during a 2011 spike in gas prices, he said in an interview. After surrendering to police, Gendron was charged with first-degree murder. In a few years, he predicted, scientists and engineers would find that cars could run on water. On the way home, she stopped at Tops Friendly Markets, where she and nine others were fatally shot, authorities said. “She was his angel.” Eleven of the 13 people were Black.

A teenage gunman, wearing tactical gear and a livestreaming camera, killed 10 people and wounded 3 more in a hate-fueled shooting rampage in Buffalo.

The shooter "worked his way through the store" firing at others, and in the store's lobby was confronted by Buffalo police, police said. A retired Buffalo police officer identified by authorities as Aaron Salter working in the store as a security guard confronted the shooter and shot him. The same group, Wray told a Senate committee last year, were responsible for the most lethal attacks in the past decade. "When I came out here I just (saw) bodies laying in front of the store." "This individual – this white supremacist – who just perpetrated a hate crime on an innocent community, will spend the rest of his days behind bars. "This is in a league of it’s own...a whole new dimension," she said. Her cousin hid in a freezer and was not injured, she said. "A lot of people got away, thank God." The FBI is investigating the shooting as a hate crime and racially-motivated violent extremism. After Gendron entered the store, "he began engaging customers inside," Gramaglia said. Voice Buffalo and other equity advocacy groups organized a vigil near the shooting scene that drew a crowd of hundreds Sunday morning. Eleven of the 13 people who were shot were Black, Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said.
