When Adrienne Massey heard that there was a shooting at Tops Friendly Markets in Buffalo, New York, she was hoping her aunt, Katherine Massey, knew what was going on. The store, on Jefferson Avenue, was less than five minutes from her house, in one of the Blackest areas in town. As the only major grocery store in the neighborhood, it was the place she often went to buy fresh food. What Adrian didn’t realize at the time was that her aunt was already inside of the grocery store.
“I never thought something like this would happen so close to home,” Adrienne Massey said. “When we found out she was in Tops, you think in your mind ‘Nah, it can’t be.”
