Yet another shooting in America.
#1
Apparently racially motivated & said to be a hate crime by a white supremacist.

[b]"An 18-year-old white man has shot dead 10 people in a black neighbourhood of New York state in what authorities are calling a racially motivated attack.[/b]
The man, named as Payton Gendron in court papers, was arrested after a stand-off at the scene - a supermarket in the city of Buffalo.
He began firing in the store's car park before entering and continuing his rampage, streaming the attack online.



"We are investigating this incident as both a hate crime and a case of racially-motivated violent extremism," said Stephen Belongia, from the FBI's Buffalo office, adding there was evidence of "racial animosity."

CBS news reported that the attacker shouted racial slurs during the shooting and suggested that he had a racial slur written on his weapon. He also apparently posted a manifesto online which included racist language and ideas.

The suspect is believed to have driven for some 200 miles to reach the predominantly black area of the city."


How many more of these attacks are needed before America changes its gun laws... Dodgy
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
