At least 39 people have died from the wintry weather wreaking havoc across the U.S. over Christmas weekend.
The highest number of fatalities is in New York state, where 17 people have died in the wake of a massive snowstorm, according to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul.
In the middle of this wintery devastation, certain individuals decided this was an opportunity to destroy local businesses by looting them. At approximately 1730 EST, reports began to emerge in local media of looting incidents in Buffalo, NY, where residents are becoming desperate after three days of intense snowfall and cold temperatures. New York State Police confirmed the looting incidents.
However, in the last 30 minutes, social media users have claimed that vigilantes have been firing on looters. In multiple Facebook posts, users reported that “women are trying to rob the Arabian weave store, and they are getting shot at…”
Another woman claimed that “white boys dressed in… big hats…” were aiming guns at looters and firing at her.
The only reported location of these shootings was Walden Avenue in Buffalo. However, emergency services have not been dispatched to the area for gunshot wound victims. It appears that, as of this post, looting is ongoing at several stores in Buffalo. ***
