  • 2022 – Ten people are killed in a mass shooting in Buffalo, New York. On May 14, 2022, a mass shooting occurred in Buffalo, New York, United States, at a Tops Friendly Markets supermarket in the East Side neighborhood. Ten people, all of whom were African Americans, were murdered and three, one of whom was African American, were injured. The shooter, identified as 18-year-old Payton S. Gendron, livestreamed part of the attack on Twitch, but the livestream was shut down by the service in under two minutes. Gendron was taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder. He formally entered a plea of "not guilty" on May 19, 2022. On November 28, 2022, Gendron pleaded guilty to all state charges in the shooting, including murder, domestic terrorism, and hate crimes. Gendron is reported to have written a manifesto describing himself as an ethno-nationalist and a supporter of White supremacy who is motivated to commit acts of political violence. He voiced support for the far-right Great Replacement conspiracy theory in the context of a White genocide. The attack has been described as an act of domestic terrorism, and it is also being investigated as a hate crime which was motivated by racism.
