An 18-year-old White man opened fire Saturday at a supermarket in Buffalo, killing 10 people and injuring three others, said law enforcement officials, who are investigating the incident as a hate crime and a case of racially motivated violent extremism.
Described by Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia as “a hero in our eyes,” Aaron Salter Jr. was the security guard on duty when the gunman began his deadly rampage at the supermarket.
Gramaglia said Salter, a retired Buffalo police officer, tried to stop the suspect and fired at him multiple times, but the rounds struck the 18-year-old’s bulletproof vest.. “He’s a hero.” Apart from having a three-decade-long career in law enforcement, Salter — who described himself in his LinkedIn profile as a “jack of all trades, a master of none” — was working on a project to build cars with engines that ran on clean energy.
“I would like to realize my dream of getting cars to run off of water using my newly discovered energy source some day,” Salter wrote on hisThat “newly discovered energy source” was hydrogen electrolysis, a process that splits water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.. After scouting the Internet for alternative energy sources, he came across hydrogen electrolysis, and that interest eventually turned into a company called AWS Hydrogen Technologies and three working prototypes, he said.
