On May 14, 2022, a mass shooting occurred in Buffalo, New York, at a Tops Friendly Markets store, a supermarket in the Kingsley neighborhood on the eastern side of the city. Ten people were killed, and three others were injured; 11 of the victims were black. The shooter livestreamed the attack on Twitch. The accused, identified as 18-year-old Payton S. Gendron of Conklin, New York, was taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder.

Gendron is reported to have written a manifesto, describing himself as a white supremacist and voicing support for the far-right "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory. The attack has been described as an act of domestic terrorism, and the incident is being investigated as racially motivated.

Shooting

At around 2:30 p.m. EDT (UTC−04:00), the shooter arrived at the Tops supermarket on Jefferson Avenue, in a predominantly black neighborhood in Buffalo, New York. He was wearing body armor, a military grade helmet, carrying a modified Bushmaster XM-15 rifle, and a head-mounted camera, through which he livestreamed the attack on Twitch. In his car, he had a Savage Arms Axis XP hunting rifle and a Mossberg 500 shotgun. As he approached the scene, he was recorded on his livestream saying "just got to go for it". At 2:31 p.m., Buffalo police received a call reporting shots fired at the store. The first responding officers and firefighters arrived a minute later and reported bodies lying outside the building. At 2:34 p.m., a dispatcher started informing responding officers of an active shooter situation at the store.

The shooter shot four people in the parking lot, killing three. He then entered the store, shooting eight more people and killing six. According to a law enforcement source, the shooter yelled racial slurs during the incident. At some point, an armed security guard, former Buffalo Police Department officer Aaron Salter Jr., shot at him. Due to the shooter's body armor, Salter's bullet did not stop him. The shooter returned fire at Salter, who died at the scene. At another point, the shooter aimed his gun at a white person cowering behind a checkout counter but apologized and did not shoot.

By 2:36 p.m., the shooter had gone to the front of the building, where patrol officers were able to talk him into dropping his gun after he reportedly aimed it at his neck. After his arrest, the suspect made disturbing statements regarding his motive and state of mind, a source told CNN.

Victims

Thirteen people – eleven of them black and two white – were shot, ten fatally. The oldest was 86, and the youngest was 20. Four victims were employees of the store, including Salter, who died; the other three survived. As of May 15, two of the injured remained hospitalized at Erie County Medical Center in stable condition.

Investigation

Erie County Sheriff John Garcia said the shooting was a "straight up racially motivated hate crime from somebody outside of our community". The head of the local FBI office, Stephen Belongia, told reporters that the agency is investigating the shooting as both a hate crime and an act of racially motivated violent extremism.

Police arrested the shooter and transported him to Buffalo Police Headquarters, with police reporting him to be in custody by about 2:36 p.m. The shooter's parents have cooperated with investigators and were interviewed by federal agents.

Accused

The accused, identified in court as Payton S. Gendron, is an 18-year-old white man. Police said that he is not from Buffalo, and that he had traveled for three-and-a-half hours to the supermarket from his hometown of Conklin, about 200 miles (320 km) away. Gendron graduated from Susquehanna Valley High School and was previously enrolled at SUNY Broome Community College in Binghamton. Classmates interviewed by The New York Times said he was quiet and rarely attended offline classes, and he exhibited a range of idiosyncratic behavior, including wearing a hazmat suit to class. In June 2021, Gendron had been investigated by police in Broome County for threatening other students at his high school; he was referred to a hospital for mental health evaluation and counseling. He was released after being held for a day and a half. The New York State Police did not seek an order from a state court to remove guns from Gendron's possession.

Police said Gendron had been in Buffalo a day before the shooting and had carried out reconnaissance at the Tops supermarket. The county's district attorney said he had evidence that Gendron was motivated by "racial animosity". He had an account on the chat platform Discord, on which he "posted to-do list items in preparation for the attack", according to the Daily Intelligencer. Discord chat logs indicated the attack was originally planned for March 15, according to Bloomberg News. On his rifle, he had reportedly written the word nigger and referenced reparations. A law enforcement source told The Daily Beast he had also written on his rifle names of one or more victims of the Waukesha Christmas parade attack. Before the shooting, Gendron wrote that he had purchased a rifle and illegally modified it to accept magazines capable of holding up to thirty rounds, which are illegal in New York state, where the limit is ten rounds. According to police, he had researched previous hate-motivated attacks and shootings.

Manifesto

Gendron is reported to have written a 180-page manifesto released prior to the shooting, primarily concerning the topic of mass immigration. The manifesto was originally posted on Google Docs on the evening of May 12, two days before the attack, and according to file data, it had not been modified since. Federal law enforcement sources told CNN that they were reviewing the document.

The manifesto promotes the white nationalist far-right "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory of Renaud Camus, which claims that whites are being subject to genocide through immigration and decreasing white birth rates. The manifesto claims that Jews and the elite are responsible for non-white immigration, that black people disproportionately kill white people, and that non-whites would overwhelm and wipe out the white race. It also expressed support for far-right mass shooters Dylann Roof, Anders Behring Breivik, and Brenton Tarrant. 28 percent of the document is plagiarized from other sources, especially Tarrant's manifesto. The author described himself as an eco-fascist, a white supremacist, national socialist, and an antisemite. He claims to have had adopted these ideological stances after visiting /pol/ on 4chan beginning in May 2020 and seeing "infographics, shitposts, and memes", at around the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The manifesto's author wrote that he started planning the attack in January 2022, and that he targeted Buffalo because it was the city with the most black residents that was closest to his home. The manifesto includes biographical information, including a birth date, which is identical to that of the shooter in custody. It also includes extensive details about preparations made for the shooting, along with a plan to travel to a majority-black neighborhood in Buffalo, after the supermarket attack, to conduct further attacks.

Legal proceedings

Gendron was arraigned in the Buffalo City Court, which is a New York State Court. Represented by a public defender, he entered a not guilty plea to multiple charges of first-degree murder. A felony hearing is scheduled to begin on May 19 in front of a grand jury. He is currently being held without bail under suicide watch. On the same day, the Attorney General of the United States Merrick Garland confirmed that the United States Department of Justice was investigating the shooting "as a hate crime and an act of racially-motivated violent extremism".

Reactions

President Joe Biden offered his prayers for the victims and their families; he called the shooting "a racially motivated hate crime", an "act of domestic terrorism", and went on to call white supremacy a "poison ... running through our body politic". Governor Kathy Hochul traveled to Buffalo to assist with the response. The Erie County Sheriff's Office tweeted their condolences to all of the victims and their families and offered resources and personnel to assist the officers. Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau condemned the attack. Buffalo is on the Canadian border and is adjacent to Fort Erie, Ontario. The mayor of Niagara Falls, Ontario, Jim Diodati called Buffalo mayor Byron Brown to express his solidarity with Buffalo. Flags in Niagara Falls were lowered at half-mast in honor of the victims.

Twitch confirmed that its service was used to broadcast the shooting. It said that the account that posted the livestream had been indefinitely suspended and that any attempts to re-stream the footage would be monitored and prohibited. The shooter's livestream was removed "less than two minutes after the violence started" according to a spokesperson; it was unclear if he was still actively firing at the time. The shooting was recorded by at least one individual and posted to the site Streamable, where it had acquired more than 3 million views by May 15. The spread of the video on other sites has led to discussions about social media sites' liability, responses to similar content, and free speech on the sites.

The shooter's belief in the Great Replacement conspiracy theory has drawn increased scrutiny of Republican political and media figures who have made statements embracing or echoing the conspiracy, most prominently Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson and House Republican Conference chair Elise Stefanik, the third highest-ranking Republican in the U.S. House. The National Review criticized this scrutiny of Carlson, saying: "He never mentioned Tucker Carlson, and expressed his hatred for Fox News ." In response, Carlson said that the suspect's manifesto was "not recognizably left-wing or right-wing; it's not really political at all. The document is crazy".

Local community

Dozens of local residents held a vigil at the supermarket the day after the shooting. True Bethel Baptist Church held a mourning service nearby, which was attended by families of the victims and some of those who survived the attack. A moment of silence was held at game one of the 2022 National Lacrosse League playoffs eastern semifinals being held in Buffalo, between the Toronto Rock and Buffalo Bandits, and the proceeds of the 50/50 raffle were donated to the victims' families.

Buffalo's black community criticized and expressed concern over Gendron's peaceful surrender and arrest by police; some juxtaposed it to fatal shootings of unarmed black men across the U.S., including cases involving the Buffalo police department.
