White gunman kills 10 in live-streamed racial attack at Buffalo, N.Y., supermarket
A white gunman killed 10 people in a live-streamed racial attack at Buffalo, N.Y., supermarket on Saturday.
While three others were critically injured.
The 10 people killed and three injured, were almost all of them Black Americans, in one of the deadliest racist massacres in recent American history.
The authorities identified the gunman as 18-year-old Payton S. Gendron of Conklin, a resident of a small town in New York’s rural Southern Tier.
The man had driven more than 200 miles to carry out his attack, which he also live-streamed, the police said.
Mr. Gendron was armed with an assault weapon and wore body armor, the police said.
“It was a straight-up racially motivated hate crime,” John Garcia, the Erie County sheriff, added.

A chilling video feed appeared designed to promote his sinister agenda.
As reported, a white supremacist terrorist live-streamed the video of the attack.
Payton Gendron had published a fascist manifesto using the same “black sun” Nazi symbol used by Ukraine’s neo-Nazi Azov militia, which NATO is arming and training.
Following the attack, the Twitter timeline is laden with all sorts of reactions.
BREAKING: In his manifesto, the white supremacist mass shooter who live-streamed himself shooting 9 people at a Buffalo, New York supermarket, killing 2, reveals that he was motivated to do so by the “white replacement theory” that has been pushed by Trump. RT TO EXPOSE TRUMP!

If you speak on what happened in #Buffalo be sure to call it what it was.
A terrorist attack, orchestrated by a white supremacist.
My heart is broken for Buffalo ❤️💙

They’re going to try to claim this guy is crazy but he live streamed the whole thing (this video does NOT show the shootings)! Buddy had a manifesto, planned it all out, everything. Targeted the majority black store specifically #Buffalo

I’m confused how this murderous scum gets to live after killing innocent people. He should be dead not in handcuffs. Black people are shot and killed by police officers after a traffic stop so make this shit make sense. #Buffalo #TopsSupermarket #NY pic.twitter.com/QALeeyOQL8

Call him what he is. He’s not a teenage gun man, he’s a white suprematist. A domestic terrorist who is responsible for the murders of innocent lives. Use the correct terminology when describing this low life piece of shit #Terrorist #buffalonewyork #Buffalo #BuffaloMassacre #blm https://t.co/hHdOTzUP5Z
