NEW YORK — Uncensored video shows the moment a “heavily armed” white teenager dressed in military-style tactical gear slaughtered ten people in a “racially motivated” mass shooting he live-streamed at a Buffalo supermarket.
The shooter, identified as 18-year-old Payton Gendron drove from “hours away” in Conklin, New York, to a Tops Friendly Market on Jefferson Avenue in a predominately black neighborhood.
10 people were killed and 3 others were injured. There were eleven black victims and two white victims.
The shooter arrived to the market at around 2:30pm, according to sources, with the N-word scribbled in white paint on one of his guns. He also had a camera to livestream the shooting.
He was armed with a semiautomatic rifle, a hunting rifle and a shotgun, all of which were lawfully obtained, according to a senior law enforcement officer.
Payton Gendron opened fire in the parking lot, killing three people and injuring a fourth, Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said.
Gramaglia said he then went inside the store, where he ran into longtime “beloved” security guard and former Buffalo cop Aaron Salter, Jr., who tried to stop him.
But Salter’s bullet failed to pierce the attacker’s armor, he said.
According to Gramaglia, the shooter opened fire on Salter, killing him, before moving on to the rest of the store.
Uncensored video shows the mass shooter opening fire on victims outside and inside the Buffalo supermarket.
Buffalo police confronted the shooter, who at one point put his gun to his own neck before authorities were able to talk him into surrendering, officials said.
The carnage occurred on a Saturday afternoon, when many people were doing their grocery shopping.
It’s not the first time Gendron has come to the attention of law enforcement, who reportedly threatened his fellow high school students in June 2021.
A school official reported Gendron “had made statements indicating that he wanted to do a shooting, either at a graduation ceremony, or sometime after”.
State Police investigated, and Gendron was referred for counseling and a mental health evaluation.
