10 dead in ‘racially motivated’ mass shooting at Buffalo supermarket

LA Times  

A gunman opened fire with a rifle Saturday at a supermarket in Buffalo, N.Y., in what authorities called a “hate crime and racially motived violent extremism,” killing 10 people and wounding three others before being taken into custody, law enforcement officials said. According to the Violence Project — a nonprofit, nonpartisan research center dedicated to reducing violence in society — the role of serious mental illness in mass shootings is complex. James Densley and Jillian Peterson, who run the Violence Project and have studied every public mass shooting since 1966, write that more than half of the shootings have occurred since 2000 and 33% since 2010. “The depth of pain that families are feeling and that all of us are feeling right now cannot even be explained.” Gramaglia said Buffalo police entered the store and confronted the gunman in the vestibule.
