Gunman kills at least 10 people in mass shooting in New York's Buffalo city, conditions of others unknown while suspect is taken into custody, say US officials
A gunman sporting a rifle and body armor opened fire in 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 news agency.
The official cautioned the investigation was in its preliminary stages and that authorities hadn't yet discerned a clear motive, but were investigating whether the shooting was racially motivated. Buffalo police confirmed the shooter was in custody in a tweet, but did not identify the suspect. But police officials and a spokesperson for the supermarket chain did not immediately respond to messages from the AP seeking comment.Witnesses reported the gunman was wearing military-style clothing in addition to the body armor, one of the officials said.
Police closed off the block, lined by spectators, and yellow police taped surrounded the full parking lot. Mayor Byron Brown and Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz were at the scene late Saturday afternoon, gathered in a parking lot across the street from the Tops store and expected to address the media.
