Officials say the suspect, 18-year-old Payton Gendron, wore body armor and live-streamed the massacre

A white gunman livestreamed a racially motivated mass shooting online, showing himself killing 10 people and wounding three others Saturday at a Buffalo, N.Y., supermarket in an historically Black neighborhood.According to witnesses and law enforcement, the gunman was dressed in body armor and armed with a high-powered rifle as he livestreamed the massacre. Investigators were reviewing a hate-filled manifesto the suspect apparently posted online.

Payton Gendron was arraigned on first-degree murder charges in Buffalo City Court and detained without bail.The suspect is in custody and was arraigned Saturday evening, charged with murder in the first degree, the highest murder charge in New York state. “I assure everyone in this community, justice is being done right now and justice will be done,” Flynn said.“The shooter was not from this community. In fact, the shooter traveled hours from outside this community to perpetrate this crime on the people of Buffalo,” he said.The mayor said it was a day of “great pain” for the city.

The gunman then continued shooting as he made his way through the store, then returned to the front, where police officers convinced him to drop his weapon.About 20 people saw the livestream, which lasted 30 seconds, on the broadcasting app Twitch, according to law enforcement. One of the viewers immediately alerted authorities. The Twitch page has since been taken down by the provider.
