Multiple residents of Houston Third Ward are reacting to the horrific mass shooting that happened in Buffalo, NY claiming the lives of 10 African Americans.
HOUSTON, Texas -- The impact of the mass shooting in the Kingsley neighborhood of Buffalo, New York, is being felt here in the Greater Houston area. People living in Third Ward say they fear something like this could happen where they live, which is also a predominantly Black neighborhood.
The U.S. Census Bureau's 2020 American Community Survey states the grocery store's zip code has a population of 78% Black, the highest percentage of Black citizens in upstate New York. Derek Gobert spends part of his time hanging out at the park next to the Shape Community Center. He shares it's a place that makes him feel safe during a time when he feels like the lives of Black people are constantly in danger.
A frequent visitor of Caldwell's gym, Evan Charles, shared his thoughts and feelings about the mass shooting with his fellow members earlier this afternoon. As someone who lives in the area, he says it's mentally exhausting to fear for your safety constantly.
