Ten people were gunned down at a Buffalo supermarket Saturday in a horrifying mass shooting that officials were quick to label as "pure evil" and racially motivated. The shooting stunned a community basking in a warm May afternoon, with shoppers filling the Tops in a predominantly Black neighborhood at 1275 Jefferson Ave.Â
Just six minutes after police were first sent to store, a suspect in the horrific mass killing that left 10 people dead was in their custody, according to archived police and firefighter radio transmissions. The transmissions described a grim scene with first-responders discovering more violence had taken place there.
Stephen Belongia, the special agent in charge of the Buffalo FBI Office, said his agents were investigating the mass shooting as a "hate crime" and as an example of "racially motivated violent extremism."
