This is terrible. I'm out in North Buffalo doing doordash and my Mom called me to check to see where I was and told me what happened. My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims families. Terrible tragedy

Man, I read the OP and thought Putin set off a nuc or something. Terrible tragedy though no doubt. TandP to the victims and families.

 

*need an edit on this. I made this during the oblivious title with no explanation of what was going on at the time. That thread was merged with this.

Crazy...used to work somewhere near there for 10 years and have been to that store at least 50-60 times...

 

Never know when you'll be in the wrong place at the wrong time...

I can't even comprehend these things, even as they're becoming commonplace.  So, so sad for everyone affected by this.

The shooter traveled HOURS to do this.......

watching the press conference now.  Racially motivated hate crime by an 18 year old white male.  As we move forward and pray for those involved, let's remember that prayers and moments of silence are not enough to stop these things from happening.

OK, so what is?

[Rockpile233]

The news conference already mentioned it was being investigated as a hate crime and racially motivated extremism, which is categorized as domestic terrorism.

Just found out about this, and it is horrible.  My thoughts and prayers to everyone touched by this.

We've known this for a while, but anything else I'd have to say shouldn't really go here.

So damn senseless… I’m so sorry and hope everyone is safe.

Good question....I am sure it will be discussed a bunch.   Would be curious to know how the shooter got the AR 15.

 

(my opinions on this as a military that gave UP all my weapons except for 9 mill and shotgun for home defense that civilians should not be allowed to have AR 15s)
