BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A gunman wearing military-style clothing and body armor opened fire with a rifle at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, killing at least 10 people before being taken into custody Saturday afternoon, law enforcement officials told The Associated Press.
Details on the number of additional people shot at the Tops Friendly Market and their conditions weren’t immediately available. The two officials were not permitted to speak publicly on the matter and did so on the condition of anonymity.
一位官员说，调查人员认为，枪手可能一直在通过固定在头盔上的摄像机播放枪击。该官员说，录像显示枪手穿着军事装备，在前排座椅上用步枪拉到商店的前面，然后将步枪指向停车场的人们，因为他离开车辆并开火。
这位官员说，这也表明犯罪嫌疑人走进超市，并在里面开枪射击了其他几名受害者。官员说，其中一名受害者是最近退休的警察，他在商店担任保安人员。
一位官员警告说，调查处于初步阶段，当局尚未明确的动机，而是在调查枪击事件是否出于种族动机。
The supermarket is in a predominately Black neighborhood, about 3 miles (5 kilometers) north of downtown Buffalo. The surrounding area is primarily residential, with a Family Dollar store and fire station near the store.
布法罗警方确认射手在一条推文中被拘留，但没有确定嫌疑人。警察没有立即回应AP寻求评论的消息。
Witnesses reported the gunman was wearing military-style clothing in addition to the body armor, one of the officials said
射手退出时，布雷迪恩·凯法特（Braedyn Kephart）和谢恩·希尔（Shane Hill）都进入了停车场。他们将他描述为十几岁或二十多岁的白人男性，穿着完整的迷彩，黑色头盔和似乎是步枪的东西。
“他正拿着枪站在那里。我们就像到底发生了什么？为什么这个孩子的脸上有枪？”凯法说。他跪下。“他脱下头盔，放下枪，被警察纠缠。”
Tops Friendly Markets released a statement saying, “We are shocked and deeply saddened by this senseless act of violence and our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.”
警察关闭了街区，被观众衬里，黄色警察录制了整个停车场。市长拜伦·布朗（Byron Brown）和伊利县（Erie County）高管马克·波伦卡兹（Mark Poloncarz）在周六下午晚些时候在现场，聚集在Tops商店对面的一座停车场，并希望向媒体讲话。
枪击事件超过两个小时，埃里卡·普格（Erica Pugh）马瑟斯（Erica Pugh Mathews）在商店外面等着警察录像带。
“我们想知道我姑姑，母亲的妹妹的状态。她和未婚夫一起在那里，分居并去了不同的过道。”她说。“子弹几乎没有想念他。他能够躲在冰箱里，但他无法到达我的姑姑，也不知道她在哪里。如果她没事的话，我们只想说什么。”
州长凯西·霍克尔（Kathy Hochul）发推文说，她“在布法罗的一家杂货店密切监视枪击事件”，她的家乡。她说，州官员向地方当局提供了帮助。伊利县警长办公室在社交媒体上说，它命令所有可用人员协助布法罗警察。
Attorney General Merrick Garland was briefed on the shooting, Justice Department spokesperson Anthony Coley said.
The shooting came little more than a year after a March 2021 attack at a King Soopers grocery in Boulder, Colorado, that killed 10 people. Investigators have not released any information about why they believe the man charged in that attack targeted the supermarket.
