The white 18-year-old accused of shooting and killing 10 people at a Buffalo supermarket made past comments about wanting to carry out a shooting, comments police investigated but did not deem an immediate threat, a law enforcement official said Sunday.
In a Sunday interview with ABC, Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said that the gunman had been in town “at least the day before.”
“We pray for their families. But after we pray — after we get up off of our knees — we’ve got to demand change. We’ve got to demand justice,” state Attorney General Letitia James said an emotional church service in Buffalo on Sunday morning. “This was domestic terrorism, plain and simple.” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Buffalo native, called for the tech industry to take responsibility for their role in propagating hate speech in a Sunday interview with ABC.
"Any act of domestic terrorism, including an act perpetrated in the name of a repugnant white nationalist ideology, is antithetical to everything we stand for in America," he said in the statement, acknowledging law enforcement is still working to confirm the motivations behind the shooting."Hate must have no safe harbor.
