A white gunman livestreamed a racially motivated mass shooting online, showing himself killing 10 people and wounding three others Saturday at a Buffalo, N.Y., supermarket in a historically Black neighborhood.
The suspect has been identified as Payton Gendron, 18, of Conklin, N.Y.
According to witnesses and law enforcement, the gunman was dressed in body armor and armed with a high-powered rifle as he livestreamed the massacre. Investigators were reviewing a hate-filled manifesto the suspect apparently posted online.
U.S. Rep. Brian Higgins, whose district includes parts of Buffalo, said the gunman had a racial epithet on his rifle.
“It was straight up, a racially motivated hate crime,” Erie County Sheriff John Garcia told reporters.
The FBI is investigating this “both as a hate crime and racially motivated violent extremism,” said Stephen Belongia, special agent in charge in Buffalo.
Of the 13 victims, 11 are Black and two are white, according to Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia.
Gendron, wearing a white mask and white paper smock, pleaded not guilty through a deputy public defender in a Buffalo courtroom.
According to police, the gunman arrived at the Tops Friendly Markets location about 2:30 p.m. and exited his vehicle. He shot four people in the parking lot. Three of them died.
He then went inside the store, where a security guard who was a former Buffalo police officer confronted him.
The Tops supermarket is on Jefferson Avenue in a historically Black neighborhood of Buffalo. It is blocks from the Buffalo Black Achievers Museum and the Frank E. Merriweather Jr. Library, which was named for the publisher of the Buffalo Criterion, the oldest African American weekly newspaper in upstate New York.

So what?
If the weapon was an AR-15, then it’s not a “high-powered rifle”. Not that the media cares.
Do the article mention he was a leftist? In the first one or two sentences, like they do when the ideology of a mass shooter is on the right? Or even at all?
No matter what the media pushes, I’m still going with a MKULTRA activation to push for gun confiscation and to distract people from the horrible economic situation that spells doom for the demoncraps this November.
The article is a sales pitch for more racial unrest.
And in a feat of magic never before seen anywhere in the world, the left will turn this one man into tens of thousands, each carrying an AR15 (complete with racial slur written on the barrel) and sporting a MAGA hat.
I am never capitalizing the word black.
Oh no no. A gun shot a bunch of people in Buffalo....in the same way that an SUV ran over a bunch of people in Waukesha.
Right corporate media?
I’m not defending the criminal, but they seem very quick to label it as racist. The only problem I have with the label is that the label is thrown around so much that I am no confident that authorities know what racist is anymore.
MAGA is racist. US flag is racist. Cops are racist. Conservatives are racist. Jobs are racist. Student load debt is racist. Milk is racist. NASCAR is racist. Interstates are racist.
So this incident is “straight up” racist. Does that mean it really really is true?
This makes the enemy stronger. If the plan is to stop the push to destroy European culture this won’t work. Having said that, I don’t have another plan.
We are definitely losing. England is dead, America as founded is dying. There is without question a war to destroy the West. That fact cannot be denied.
“..No matter what the media pushes, I’m still going with a MKULTRA activation to push for gun confiscation and to distract people from the horrible economic situation that spells doom for the demoncraps this November....”
^THIS^ bears repeating....over and over again.
He was wearing a shirt with a symbol of the Azov battalion in Ukraine. Likes Nazis maybe?
Ok, now everyone at FreeRepublic, listen up. The government has directed a change in what stories to post so stop posting vaccine danger, ukraine war, tax money to ukraine, lock down, pfizer data dump, mail-in voting, January 6th, or other previoisly directed focus areas and now only post about a white boy who went on murder spree. We appreciate the support to drive the current directed narrative.
Do I really need to put /sarc after this post?
What does Anders Breivik have to do with hatred of blacks?
Similarly, what does the Azov Brigade have to do the hating blacks?
And the more they demonize white males, the more frequently already unstable individuals will go Postal.
But that's what they want, innit?
My 1st thought was this kid is some sort of radical left sleeper cell activated to stir up racial unrest right before the midterms.
I know... it sounds paranoid.....but I don’t put ANYTHING past the liberal left.
Mk-ULTRA, absolutely! Just like Lois Lang, the Ralph Blasey live-in that one day out of the blue bought a one-way ticket from LA to NYC to assassinate the CIA’s top black ops financial guy, Nichas Dean (and his secretary).
Number of whites killed by blacks motivated by racial hate in the past week, please.
The propaganda of the deed. Definitely intending to inspire imitators.
