Payton Gendron, of Conklin, New York, was arraigned on a murder charge hours after a massacre at a supermarket in Buffalo.
He then made his way through the store, allegedly shooting eight more people—six fatally—before police entered and confronted him in a vestibule.Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said he put his rifle to his own neck, but two officers talked him into dropping the gun.said"My office is working closely with the U.S. Attorney's Office and our partners in law enforcement into potential terrorism and hate crimes. This is an active investigation and additional charges may be filed.
"We'll be there for the families affected by this act of terrorism. And we'll ensure law enforcement has what they need to prosecute the shooter to the fullest extent.""We still need to learn more about the motivation for today's shooting as law enforcement does its work, but we don't need anything else to state a clear moral truth: A racially motivated hate crime is abhorrent to the very fabric of this nation," he said.
