According to the police commissioner, the shooter was a white, 18-year-old male. He was dressed in tactical gear, with body armor and a rifle. He had traveled hours before he arrived at the Tops Market location. The shooter was also live-streaming during the attack.

He shot four people outside of the store, three of whom were killed. He then began shooting people inside the store. He was confronted by a security guard who shot him, but because the suspect was wearing armor, that didn’t stop him. The security guard, a former Buffalo police officer, was killed in the exchange of fire. The suspect held a gun to his own neck, but the police talked him out of shooting himself  then took him into custody.

Authorities said they believed there was a racial component to the shooting, and the FBI is investigating it as a hate crime.

The AP has confirmed with law enforcement that the suspect’s name is Payton Gendron.

He allegedly had a manifesto, which some reports are citing, that has racist and anti-Semitic rants in it, but that has not yet been confirmed by authorities as belonging to him.

Here’s former Clinton press secretary Joe Lockhart::

More blood on the hands of @tuckercarlson and @foxnews this killer used their racist talking points to justify killing 10 people. Carlson won’t stop because as he explained to the NYTimes, it’s good for ratings. Lives be damned. As Carlson will be at judgement day. https://t.co/fse5bRvEbN

The execrable Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson:

The Buffalo killer’s manifesto reads like a job application for a junior producer on Tucker Carlson.

And no, I’m not being flippant.
