United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he was “appalled” by the killing of 10 people in a grocery shop in a Black neighbourhood in Buffalo, New York, calling it “a vile act of racist violent extremism”.
The comments on Monday, released by a UN spokesman, came two days after a white gunman clad in tactical body armour shot four people in the parking lot of the Tops Friendly Market with an assault rifle before entering the store and shooting dead nine others. Authorities were investigating the attack as a racially motivated hate crime.
