Ten dead in attack at supermarket in New York state

Ten people have been killed in a shooting in New York state that is being investigated

Ten people have been killed in a shooting in New York state that is being investigated as a racially-motivated hate crime, Qazet.az reports.

An 18-year-old man wearing military gear was arrested after a stand-off at the scene in the city of Buffalo.

The suspect entered a busy supermarket on Saturday afternoon before opening fire. He used a camera to stream the attack online, police said.

US President Joe Biden condemned what he called an "abhorrent" attack.

"We are investigating this incident as both a hate crime and a case of racially-motivated violent extremism," Stephen Belongia, the agent in charge of the FBI's Buffalo office, told a news conference.

"This is the worst nightmare that any community can face and we are hurting, we are seething right now," Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown told reporters.

"We cannot let this hateful person divide our community or our country," he added.

Grady Lewis, who witnessed the attack from across the street, told local media that he saw the man open fire. "I saw the guy go in, army-style, bent over, just shooting at people," he said.
