At Least 10 Dead in Mass Shooting at Upstate NY Supermarket, Suspect in Custody

The Epoch Times Header

At least 10 people have died after a suspect opened fire, hitting 13 people in a mass shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, on Saturday, the Buffalo Police said. The suspect is in custody.

Authorities called the shooting at the Tops Friendly Market a โ€œhate crime and racially motived violent extremism.โ€

Buffalo police commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said at a press conference that the suspect is an 18-year-old white male who is not from the local community and who had livestreamed the incident online.

The suspect walked into the store and began engaging customers at the store. One of the individuals inside the store was a retired Buffalo police officer working as a security guard. The security guard engaged the suspect, fired multiple shots, and struck the suspect, but the suspect had heavy armor plating on.

The suspect engaged the retired officer who was ultimately shot and died at the scene. Gramaglia called the security guard โ€œa hero in our eyes.โ€

Three people sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

The supermarket is about 3 miles north of downtown Buffalo. The surrounding area is primarily residential, with a Family Dollar and fire station near the store.

Braedyn Kephart and Shane Hill, both 20, pulled into the parking lot just as the shooter was exiting. They described him as a male in his late teens or early twenties sporting full camo, a black helmet, and what appeared to be a rifle.

โ€œHe 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?โ€ Kephart said. He dropped to his knees. โ€œHe ripped off his helmet, dropped his gun, and was tackled by the police.โ€

Police closed off the block, lined by onlookers, and yellow police tape surrounded the full parking lot. Mayor Byron Brown and Erie County executive Mark Poloncarz were at the scene late Saturday afternoon, gathered in a parking lot across the street from the Tops store.
