BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A teenage gunman wearing military gear and livestreaming with a helmet camera opened fire with a rifle at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket in what authorities described as “racially motived violent extremism,” killing 10 people and wounding three others Saturday before he surrendered, authorities said.

Police officials said the 18-year-old gunman, who is white, was wearing body armor and military-style clothing when he pulled up and opened fire at people at a Tops Friendly Market, the shooting streamed via a camera affixed to the man’s helmet.

“He exited his vehicle. He was very heavily armed. He had tactical gear. He had a tactical helmet on. He had a camera that he was livestreaming what he was doing,” city Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said at a news conference afterward.

Gramaglia said the gunman initially shot four people outside the store, three fatally. Inside the store, a security guard who was a retired Buffalo police officer fired multiple shots at the gunman and struck him, but the bullet hit the gunman’s bulletproof vest and had no effect, Gramaglia added. The commissioner said the gunman then killed the security guard.

18 years old, on top of it. What has the world -US?- come to?

 

[belmarduk]

fortunately they caught this fucko!

 

[Biff]

Just awful. COVID was a nice pause in mass shootings for a while there eh? Damn

 

[12Goblins]

shooting up a poor black neighborhood grocery store.... hope this deranged fuck gets what he deserves in prison

What does this have to do with CoVID?

Also there were plenty of shootings and crimes and people dead from them during the lockdowns. Covid didn’t cause anything. It was the response and supposed solutions.

 

[InterMusketeer]

A brute and a coward. Lock him up for good.

 

[chromhound]

WTF the world is going crazy... He even wrote the N word on his Riffle...

 

[CrankyJay™]

Sucks to happen in my city. Locals are pretty shaken up. Heard a rumor he was also considering a suburban Walmart near me where many African Americans frequent.

I think if that happened a lot more people would have died due to how busy that location is plus difference in police response times.

Wow you can see the writing on the barrel if you zoom in…. Fuck this dude.

Being locked down and spending too much time on the wrong parts of the internet probably.

Or just watching the news….

 

[Pilgrimzero]

Of course he was caught alive.

And of course he's a right wing nutjob who listened to to much Tucker Carlson.

 

[nush]

and it got political...

and locked......

It was politically with the news article.

 

[Toons]

Gd it man. Can us black people just exist in peace without one of these nutjobs.

 

[funkygunther]

Terrorist. Doesn't deserve to be part of those society. RIP to the poor people.

 

[Doom85]

OMG, this is horrifying. My deepest condolences to the victims’ loved ones.

And that security guard, man. Tried to do the right thing and it cost him his life. But I’d like to think he bought time for others to escape, so my highest respects to him.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

If this happened in any other country than the US, I think we'd be surprised. A white guy goes on a run and gun rampage in the good 'ol US of A.

I don't know about you guys, but seems like the typical quarterly shooting rampage in 'Merica.

 

[LordCBH]

Put a bullet in the back of his head and be done with it.

Quarterly? There was one last month, not all of them make the news for various reasons.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Looks like another one of those camo-militia dudes who think think they are like the rebels in Red Dawn.

 

[Elder Legend]

What did he think this was gonna lead too? That he was gonna escape and run free ? I don't get it. People are stupid. Lock him and let him suffer till his expiration date.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Absolutely tragic situation. Somber feeling around town tonight. The area this happened in is actually not the greatest part of town. Considering he wasn't a local either, it's baffling. I'm not a native of Buffalo (as in, not born and raised) but this piece of shit is actually from a town right outside where I grew up.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Look at this dumb shit.

Buffalo mass shooter has been identified, wrote a white supremacy manifesto

We finally have a confirmed identification of the Buffalo mass shooter who killed 10 people and injured another three at a Tops supermarket. As we speak, the state of New York is c

In more details about his past, there is a video in which his mother posts a Christmas where she gifts him with a fire arm. A famous fire arm brand called Savage is clearly seen in one of the videos and Payton appears in the images as well, alongside his two brothers who are also opening presents.

Gifting your underage childwith a deadly fire arm is directly related to how much he has normalized violence. If authorities are smart about this, they should also go after the mother for accesory to murder. For now, the domestic terrorist hs pleaded not guilty on the account of 10 murders.

 

[BigBooper]

New York is getting wild. That black guy shooting 10 in the subway last month and this white guy shooting 13 this month.

Ya'll race relations need to settle down.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Death by firing squad is what he deserves. Fuck this scum.


RIP to all the victims, so sad

There's so many shootings, who can keep up remembering them all? I totally forgot about the subway guy.

 

[TheMan]

Dude was apparently deep into 4chan and posted on some tactical gear subreddit that has since been made private.

Same, and I wasn't even referring to the subway guy.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Ya'll race relations need to settle down.

Media won't let it. Racial division gets clicks.

 

[StateofMajora]

Why don't mass shooters ever go after the elites who caused the division?

Why is it always a grocery store, concert, airport, college...

 

[ManaByte]

Because the elites have armed security and live in a high rise penthouse.

 

[Punished Miku]

As soon as I saw that he streamed it I knew he must have been on 4chan. Not the first person radicalized through there and not the first to stream their mass shooting for their internet buddies.

 

[StateofMajora]

I know but, surely a lot of these shooters know they're going to be gunned down after they open fire anyway.

The answer is they're evil and stupid, I know, but increasingly I ask myself that question because as radical as these people are, you know some of them hate people in high places.

 

[Daxter32jak]

Put him on the electric chair and throw water at the same time

 

[Roll Fizzlebeef]

Shits pretty fucked up, He even chose to let someone live and said sorry to him, presumably cause he was white. Based on the Manifesto this was planned well ahead, and scoped out prior.

Be warned if you start clicking on videos, as it is out there.

 

[Zeroing]

I’m European, not saying there’s not crazy people all over the world because these types of thing happens everywhere.
But sadly, shootings seen “normal” in the USA!

To also put into perspective, since Brazil passed a law of personal gun ownership, mass shootings skyrocketed!

This information about Brazil is not true at all. It is quite rare to happen such thing in there. Most cases are related to robbery/drug trafficking/police x drug dealers and cartels which has always happened. I’d say this is mostly a USA phenomenon.

 

[MaestroMike]

RIP to the victims.

 

[EviLore]

Senseless and awful.

Livestreamed, huh, and ideologically driven, pre-planned with a manifesto, writing all over his gun, ties to 4chan. So a very similar profile to the New Zealand mosque shooter.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

The black guy shooter seemed radicalised by BLM.

I could imagine this guy could have been radicalised from the fallout from that.

It sadly seems like we're going to get a lot more of this due to how the conversation around race has been hijacked so badly by extremists in the instiutions, government, media etc...

 

[ResilientBanana]

nah, send him to prison to get butt fucked.

His manifesto copies and pastes directly from Tarrant's.

How? The fucker literally streamed on Twitch.

This is just horrible. All of it.

R.I.P. to the victims

 

[Outlier]

I have no sympathy for people who choose to do things like this.
Assuming we have them dead to rights I support a sentence to execution. I don't support death penalties. Waste of time. Just rid them of this world, swiftly.

 

[mortal]

RIP to all of the victims. So much pointless violence.
Hope the the rest of this scumbag's existence is full of mental anguish and suffering.

Because they're all fucking cowards in actuality. They go after innocent people that can't defend themselves to feel empowered.

We in Portugal have the Brazilian tv channels and from what I watched there’s been a rise in shootings even if it’s cartels, robberies etc. more guns on the streets…
