Buffalo, NY: A gunman in military-style clothing opened fire with a rifle at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York.
In what authorities called a “hate crime and racially motived violent extremism,” killing 10 people and wounding three others before being taken in custody Saturday afternoon, law enforcement officials said.
The gunman was identified as Payton Gendron, 18, of Conklin, a community about 200 miles southeast of Buffalo in New York state, two law enforcement officials told the AP.
The officials were not permitted to speak publicly on the matter and did so on the condition of anonymity.
A total of 13 people were shot at the Tops Friendly Market.
At a news conference following the shooting, Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said the suspect traveled hours to the area to carry out the mass shooting.
