Community comes together amid shock of Buffalo mass shooting

The white 18-year-old who shot and killed 10 people at a Buffalo community supermarket had researched the local demographics and arrived in the area a day in advance to conduct reconnaissance with the "express purpose" of killing as many Black people as possible, officials said Sunday.

The chilling revelation prompted grief and anger in the predominantly Black neighborhood around Tops Friendly Market, where a group of people gathered to lead chants of “Black lives matter” and mourn victims that included an 86-year-old woman who had just visited her husband in a nursing home and a security guard who fired multiple shots at the suspect.

"Somebody filled his heart so full of hate that he would destroy and devastate our community," the Rev. Denise Walden-Glenn said.

As the country reeled from its latest mass shooting, new details emerged about the gunman's past and Saturday's rampage, which the shooter livestreamed on Twitch. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Buffalo native, demanded technology companies to tell her whether they've done "everything humanly possible" to make sure they are monitoring violent content as soon as it appears.
