https://goresee.com/videos/watch/102544a4-8640-4686-81c6-258176053d0b On May 14, 2022, a mass shooting occurred in Buffalo, New York, United States, at a Tops Friendly Markets supermarket in the East Side neighborhood. Ten people, all of whom were black, were murdered, and three people were injured. The shooter, 18-year-old Payton Spencer Gendron, livestreamed part of the attack on Twitch until the livestream was shut down by the service in under two minutes. At 2:30 p.m., Gendron arrived to the store and first shot four people in the parking lot, killing three. He then entered the store, shooting eight more people and killing six. At 2:31 p.m., Buffalo police received a call reporting shots fired at the store. The first responding officers and firefighters arrived a minute later and reported bodies lying outside the building. At 2:34 p.m., a dispatcher started informing responding officers of an active shooter situation at the store. According to a law enforcement source, Gendron yelled racial slurs during the incident. Many employees and customers used the store's break room to hide from Gendron and barricaded the door with a heavy desk. Other customers were hidden by employees in the milk cooler and said Gendron shot through the coolers, but the milk cartons stopped the bullets. At some point, an armed security guard, former Buffalo Police Department officer Aaron Salter Jr., shot at him. Due to Gendron's body armor, Salter's bullet did not stop him. Gendron returned fire at Salter, who died at the scene. At an early point in the shooting, Gendron aimed his rifle at an injured white person, the store manager, hiding behind a checkout counter but he apologized and did not shoot. By 2:36 p.m., Gendron had gone to the front of the building, where patrol officers were able to talk him into dropping his gun after he reportedly aimed it at his neck. Here, Gendron was stripped of his body armor and arrested in front of the store as onlookers watched. A total of 60 shots were fired during the shooting. After his arrest, Gendron told law enforcement that it was his role in life to commit a mass shooting against black people to prevent an "uprising" against white people. On February 15, 2023, Gendron was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
