Everyone I know is fine, and that’s sort of the problem– Buffalo is a very segregated city, and the attacker had researched to find the Blackest area code in the city, which is served by only one grocery store, which is understaffed so there are always long lines to check out, and so he knew he had a bunch of sitting ducks guaranteed right there for his mowing-down pleasure. There was nothing mentally ill or unpremeditated about it, he drove in from halfway across the state expressly to do this thing he’d done several practice runs for and he absolutely knew he could achieve.
And no one I know was hurt, because I live in an almost entirely white zipcode, and work in another almost entirely white zipcode, and the bus lines don’t even come directly to my zipcode from that one.
Which is now served by zero grocery stores.
