Mass Shooting At A Supermarket In Buffalo, New York, Leaves At Least 8 People Dead
At least eight people have been killed in a shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, law enforcement officials tell The Associated Press. Buffalo police said earlier Saturday afternoon that the alleged shooter was in custody.
The two officials were not permitted to speak publicly on the matter and did so on the condition of anonymity.
It’s unclear how many other people may have been shot. The suspect was not identified. More updates coming soon please drop a quick prayer for the victims.

There is no standard definition of what constitutes a mass shooting, and different data sources—such as media outlets, academic researchers, and law enforcement agencies—frequently use different definitions when discussing and analyzing mass shootings.
For instance, when various organizations measure and report on mass shootings, the criteria they use in counting such events might differ by the minimum threshold for the number of victims, whether the victim count includes those who were not fatally injured, where the shooting occurred, whether the shooting occurred in connection to another crime, and the relationship between the shooter and the victims.
These inconsistencies lead to different assessments of how frequently mass shootings occur and whether they are more common now than they were a decade or two ago.
