Buffalo mayor says shooting suspect 'came here to take as many Black lives as possible.'
Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said Sunday that the suspected gunman who opened fire at a supermarket in the city, killing 10 and wounding three,"came here to take as many Black lives as possible."
In a hate-filled manifesto purportedly written and posted by Gendron before the attack, he said that he chose the location because it has a high Black population and"isn't that far away." The supermarket is about three and a half hours away from Gendron's home. "We have to put more pressure on lawmakers in Washington, those that have been obstructionists to sensible gun control, to reforming the way guns are allowed to proliferate and fall into the wrong hands in this country, so whether it is urban, suburban, rural, no community seemingly is safe from these mass shootings," he said."It's not just Buffalo, New York.
