A bloody shooting took place in a supermarket in Buffalo (United States), in the state of New York, on Saturday May 14. The racist motivations of the 18-year-old murderer are obvious.

He arrived quietly in the parking lot of a supermarket, Saturday, May 14, in Buffalo (United States). With his marksman’s gloves, he films thanks to the camera on his helmet. On the passenger seat, appears his weapon of war. He opens the door and within minutes, 18-year-old Payton Gendron commits carnage, killing ten people. “I saw this guy in full military combat gear, he was shooting at people”says a survivor.

His massacre completed, the killer surrendered when the police arrived. Charged with murder, he pleaded not guilty. Investigators found a 180-page manifesto on the internet and racist inscriptions were painted on his rifle. The residents are upset. Investigators also found writings by the killer which relay the conspiracy theory of the great white replacement. Kathy Hochul, the governor of the state of New York, warns about the influence of social networks.
