Buffalo gunman planned to continue shooting rampage, police say |
|---|
|
|---|
| The 18-year-old accused of a racist shooting rampage that left 10 Black people dead at a Buffalo supermarket planned to continue his deadly spree on the street before he was stopped, police said today. |
|---|
|
|---|
| “It appeared that his plans were to drive out of here and continue driving down Jefferson Avenue looking to shoot more Black people as he could and possibly go to another store location,” Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” |
|---|
|
|---|
| The gunman drove more than 200 miles to the Tops Friendly Market in a predominantly Black neighborhood, where he livestreamed his rampage on Saturday, police said. |
|---|
|
|---|
| Authorities are investigating the shooting as a racially motivated hate crime. The suspect appears to have left a disturbing online trail and senior law enforcement officials say they believe he wrote a 180-page “manifesto” citing a racist conspiracy theory. |
|---|
|
|---|
| The ten people killed include a retired Buffalo police officer working as a security guard at the store, as well as a teacher, and a community leader. |

| President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will travel to Buffalo tomorrow to meet with families of the victims, the White House has announced. |

FDA chief says baby formula plant could reopen in about two weeks |
|---|
|
|---|
| An Abbott Nutrition baby formula plant that was shut down over safety concerns should be up and running again in about two weeks, according to FDA Commissioner Robert Califf. |
|---|
|
|---|
| “Abbott is responsible for the timeline, but I’m very comfortable with what they said about two weeks,” Califf told NBC’s “TODAY” show. “That’s entirely within the realm of possibility and I think quite likely.” |
|---|
|
|---|
| Califf did not say when formula will be back on the shelves. More than 40 percent of the country’s supply is out of stock, according to Datasembly. |
|---|
|
|---|
| Abbott said it has conducted a thorough review and found “no evidence” linking their baby formulas to the illnesses. |
