Ten people were killed by a gunman dressed in body armor and armed with a high-powered rifle, while three others were wounded – two of them critically – outside and inside a Buffalo supermarket, the Buffalo News reports.
Erie County Sheriff John Garcia called the attack a “straight-up racially motivated hate crime.”
BNO News said the shooter was “live-streaming on Twitch” and “also posted an online manifesto in which he described himself as a white supremacist.”
