A mass-shooting incident occurred early on Saturday afternoon in Buffalo, the second-largest city in the state of New York.
A gunman armed with a rifle entered a local supermarket, opening fire on the shoppers. The man, donning military-style gear, was apparently acting alone, local media have reported, citing law enforcement.
“It’s like walking onto a horror movie, but everything is real,” a police officer at the scene was quoted as saying by the Buffalo News.
Buffalo police commissioner said a total of 13 people were shot, 10 killed at the scene. The gunman was detained.
The attacker reportedly live-streamed the shooting spree on Twitch streaming platform. Several graphic screenshots purportedly taken from the stream, showing a body lying on the floor and a woman getting shot in her head, are circulating online.
