The shooting took place at Tops Friendly Market in the 1200 block of Jefferson Avenue in the state’s second-largest city, in a predominantly Black neighbourhood that authorities believe the suspect had specifically targeted. Thirteen people in total were shot. Among the victims, 11 were Black. Close-up shots from a video of Saturday’s attack, which police say was filmed by the gunman himself, show the N-word and the number 14 — a known white supremacist code — written on the barrel of the gun in white paint. A “manifesto” has been found online, connected to the 18-year-old suspect Payton Gendron, that references racist and white nationalist tropes and far-right conspiracy theories. President Joe Biden will visit Buffalo on Tuesday to “grieve” with the community. (-…) The livestream, which the gaming website removed within minutes of the attack unfolding, has since reappeared on social media sites – who say they are working to remove the horrific and alarming footage. “We have teams working around the clock across Meta to identify, remove, and block violating content related to the shooting,” said the owners of Facebook to Newsweek on Monday. Twitter told The Associated Press on Sunday it was working to remove material related to the shooting that violates its rules on content shared by “individual perpetrators of terrorist, violent extremist, or mass violent attacks”. A victim’s mother meanwhile told Buffalo News at the weekend that she had sent her daughter to the Tops Friendly Market on Saturday and saw her getting shot by the gunman on a video that was res-shared on Facebook.
