Saturday’s shooting had the same number of fatalities as a shooting by a transit system employee last May at a light-rail facility in San Jose, according to the archive. When police arrived at the store, Gendron put a gun to his neck but was ultimately persuaded to surrender, Gramaglia said.

It unfolded in a largely Black neighborhood in Buffalo, and 11 of the people shot were Black, officials said. Mr. Gendron wrote that he was inspired by the perpetrators of other white supremacist acts of violence, naming Dylann Roof, who killed nine Black parishioners in South Carolina in 2015, among other gunmen. And he had carefully studied the layout of the grocery store, writing that he would shoot a security guard near the entrance before walking through aisles and firing upon Black shoppers, shooting them twice in the chest when he could. He shot shoppers and employees, according to the police, leaving a trail of bodies in the aisles. He wrote out a lengthy manifesto that was steeped in the “great replacement” doctrine, which argues that whites are at risk of being replaced by people of color. The Anti-Defamation League has said it was commonly used in Nazi Germany, and has now been adopted by white supremacists and neo-Nazis. “I don’t think anyone here in the city of Buffalo thought that something like this could ever happen, would ever happen.” Ten people were killed and three others wounded; 11 of the shooting victims were Black. The police have yet to identify victims. He then put the gun to his own neck, said the police commissioner, Joseph A. Gramaglia, at a news conference. Shortly after Mr. Gendron was captured, a manifesto believed to have been posted online by the gunman emerged, riddled with racist, anti-immigrant views that claimed white Americans were at risk of being replaced by people of color. And his preferred victims seemed clear as well: All told, 11 of the people shot were Black and two were white, the authorities said. His manifesto, which he posted online shortly before the killings, contained old strains of white supremacy and xenophobia.

"This was not a White man from Buffalo. This was a White person who was evil, so I don't want to see all White people painted and to have a tension between Black and White because of the individual who should serve his time." "Hate must have no safe harbor." "The same way I don't want to see Black people painted with a broad brush if we have one Black person (do wrong), they say, 'Oh, those Black folks.' So at the end of the day, I don't want to see the same thing happen in our community with Black and White relations," Pridgen said. Speaking to the suspected motive of the shooting, Darius G. Pridgen -- the president of Buffalo's city council and the senior pastor of True Bethel Baptist Church -- told CNN's Pamela Brown he hopes it is understood that race relations in the city do not have to be frayed and that the shooting was the act of an "evil" individual from outside the community. "The depth of pain that families are feeling and that all of us are feeling right now cannot even be explained." "He had tactical gear, he had a tactical helmet on, he had a camera that he was livestreaming what he was doing."

We must do everything in our power to end hate-fueled domestic terrorism.” Just like Christchurch gunman Brenton Harrison Tarrant, the Buffalo suspect, Payton Gendron, live-streamed his actions in a quest for notoriety.

Grendon was arraigned on one count of first-degree murder to which he pleaded not guilty.

Gendron, the purported author of the document, espouses racist and anti-Semitic tropes throughout the document, which he appears to have posted before he carried out the alleged attack, according to authorities.

Our research suggests many strategies to prevent mass shootings – from behavioral threat assessment to restricting access to firearms for high-risk people. But racial hatred appears to be just one of many motivations cited by retail shooters. Our analysis suggests that when it comes to retail shooters, around 13% are driven by racism – so slightly above the average for all mass shooting events. Mass shootings are socially contagious. We also built a comprehensive database of mass public shootings using public data, with the shooters coded on over 200 different variables, including location and racial profile. Mass public shootings in which four or more people are killed have become more frequent, and deadly, in the last decade.

Police have identified Payton Gendron, 18, as the suspect in Saturday's shooting at a Buffalo supermarket that left 10 dead.

The 17-acre property was purchased by Pamela and Paul Gendron for $116,000 in 2002.

And nobody has heard from her," Mr Whitfield told the Mayor then. The Buffalo attack came just a month after a shooting on a Brooklyn subway injured 10, and just over a year after 10 people were killed in a shooting at a Colorado supermarket. "My mother had just gone to see my father, as she does every day, in the nursing home and stopped at the Tops to buy just a few groceries. A vigil has been held outside the Buffalo supermarket in the wake of the attack. On Sunday, Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said Mr Gendron had been in town "at least the day before".

An expert on the white-power movement and the “great replacement” theory puts the act of terror in context.

They see feminism as a scheme to keep white women out of the home and lower the white birth rate. So it comes up a lot in the manifesto of the Christchurch shooter, who was focussed on immigrants as his victims. But there is a heavy current of anti-Semitism that links the idea of the manipulative élite with Jewish conspirators. It allows an opportunism in selecting enemies so that you can tack to the scapegoat of a particular time and place, but it also follows the central motivating logic, which is to protect the thing on the inside, regardless of the enemy on the outside. When people such as Tucker Carlson try to do the “respectable” version of this, they often say, Oh, we’re worried about illegal immigration, and they pretend that they’re not saying something quite as bad as what they mean. In the past few years, we’ve had a series of mass attacks employing this ideology on different kinds of victim groups: the Tree of Life shooting in Pittsburgh, the El Paso shooting of Latino folks at a Walmart.
