The victims of the mass shooting in Buffalo who all died when a shooter opened fire on a local grocery store have been identified.



In a racially motivated attack on Saturday, an 18-year-old white suspect shot 13 individuals, 11 of whom were black, authorities said.

A mass shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, on Saturday murdered ten people, all of whom were black, in what officials are calling a "racially motivated hate crime."

According to the Buffalo Police Department and individuals who knew them, the victims included four grocery store employees and six customers, several of whom were regulars at the business.

According to authorities, three people were shot, two of whom were treated and released from the hospital.
