Moment of silence, bell tolling for Buffalo supermarket mass shooting victims 1 year later

People hug outside the Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo, N.Y., where a gunman killed 10 in a racist attack. “We know the store is still important to people in this area.” Mayor Byron Brown read the 13 victims’ names before a moment of silence. “That’s the only way we’re going to heal.” The son of 63-year-old shooting victim Geraldine Talley on Sunday released a book that he said describes what he went through after losing his mother. He titled it: “5/14 : The Day the Devil Came to Buffalo.” “I definitely know that she wouldn’t want me to be consumed by sadness and anger,” Talley said of his mother, speaking outside of the store as the anniversary approached, “so I will definitely try to find strength in her memory and use it to fight injustice and racism for the rest of my life in her name.” Inside the remodeled store, fountains flank a poem dedicated to the victims. In addition to Chaney, Talley, Massey and Young, the dead included Andre Mackneil, who was buying a cake for his son’s third birthday; church deacon Heyward Patterson; Ruth Whitfield, whose son was a Buffalo fire commissioner; Roberta Drury, who had moved back to Buffalo to help a brother diagnosed with cancer; Margus Morrison, who was buying dinner for a family movie night; and Aaron Salter, a retired Buffalo police officer who was working as a security guard.
