Police release names of victims killed in Buffalo mass shooting, including 'hero' guard Aaron Salter
The Buffalo Police Department has released the names of those killed in a mass shooting at a supermarket. Aaron Salter was a beloved community member and security guard who knew the shoppers of Tops Friendly Market by name. When they came under attack from a gunman with a rifle, he quickly sprung into action to protect his community. The retired Buffalo police officer fired multiple times at the attacker, striking his armor-plated vest at least once. The bullet didn't pierce, and Salter was shot and killed. "He's a true hero," Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said Sunday. "There could have been more victims if not for his actions." Salter was one of 10 killed in an attack whose victims represented a cross-section of life in the predominantly Black neighborhood in Buffalo, New York. They were gunned down by a white man who authorities say showed up at the store with the "express purpose" of killing Black people. Three others were wounded. #Buffalo #shooting #PaytonGendron READ MORE: https://6abc.com/mass-shooting-supermarket-buffalo-victims-aaron-salter/11854349/
