Officials say they are investigating the shooting Saturday afternoon as a racially motivated hate crime.

10 people died when Payton Gendron went to a Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo and opened fire in what is being called a "racially motivated attack."On Saturday afternoon, a white gunman in military gear attacked shoppers and workers at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, killing 10 people and wounding three others. Most of the victims were Black. Officials said they are investigating the shooting as a racially motivated hate crime.

When police confronted the gunman in the store's vestibule, he put his rifle to his own neck, but surrendered and dropped the gun with coaxing from the officers.Police have identified the gunman as Payton Gendron, of Conklin, New York. Conklin is a small town about 200 miles southeast of Buffalo, not far from the Pennsylvania state line.

A document circulated widely online seemingly outlines Gedron's racist, anti-immigrant and antisemitic beliefs. Among them was a desire to drive all people not of European descent from the U.S. The document seemed to draw inspiration from the gunman who killed 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2019.

Ruth Whitfield, 86, was picking up groceries after visiting her husband at a nursing home, as she did every day. She was the mother of retired Buffalo Fire Commissioner Garnell Whitfield, who told The Buffalo News she was "a mother to the motherless" and "a blessing to all of us." Whitfield attributed his mother's strength and commitment to family to her strong religious faith.
