A gunman’s racist massacre inside a supermarket in Buffalo, New York killed 10 people, including several store employees and Black men and women with long histories serving the communities in which they lived.
Mourners gathered outside the Tops Friendly Markets store and in churches across town on 15 May to pray and call for an end to hate-fuelled violence the day after a mass shooting in the predominantly Black neighborhood. Arrangements of flowers, candles and cut-outs of white doves were placed in makeshift memorials around the site of the shooting.
