Ten people were killed and three others injured in a "racially motivated" shooting at a supermarket in a predominantly Black neighborhood in Buffalo, New York, authorities said.
Officials said the suspected gunman, a white 18-year-old man, traveled several hours to Buffalo to carry out the attack, which he livestreamed on social media. Eleven of the 13 people who were shot were Black, Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said at a news conference.
The suspect was taken into custody after the attack, Gramaglia added. He was identified as Payton Gendron of Conklin, a New York community about 200 miles southeast of Buffalo, two law enforcement officials told The Associated Press. The officials were not permitted to speak publicly on the matter and did so on the condition of anonymity.
