The Buffalo mass shooting by an 18-year-old that claimed the lives of ten and injured another three makes the attack the deadliest mass shooting so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
President Joe Biden on Sunday urged Americans to “work together to address the hate that remains a stain on the soul of America,” following the supermarket shooting at Buffalo.
During a tribute outside the US, Capitol President Biden expressed sorrow over the incident saying, “Our hearts are heavy once again, but our resolve must never, ever waver.”
Biden, along with First Lady Jill Biden will travel to Buffalo on Tuesday and will likely meet the family members of the victims, showing their support to the community.
The shootout
The supermarket shootout in Buffalo stunned the entire Nation for its racial motivation.
The suspect, Payton Gendron, wore military gear and live-streamed the shooting on the Amazon-owned Twitch.
Gendron was charged with first-degree murder, and officials informed he will be charged with additional crimes in the upcoming days.
