On May 14, 2022, a mass shooting occurred in Buffalo, New York, United States, at a Tops Friendly Markets store, a supermarket in the East Side neighborhood. Ten black people were killed. Three other people were injured. The shooter livestreamed the attack on Twitch. The accused, identified as 18-year-old Payton S. Gendron, was taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder.
Gendron is reported to have written a manifesto, describing himself as a white supremacist and ethno-nationalist motivated to commit political violence. He voiced support for the far-right "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory in the context of a supposed "white genocide". The attack has been described as an act of domestic terrorism, and the incident is being investigated as racially motivated. Governor Kathy Hochul promised policy changes in the state as a result of the attack while condemning the shooter and consoling the victims' families.
