BREAKING: A mass shooting in Buffalo is being investigated as a hate crime after a man is alleged to have gunned down at least 10 people in cold blood ... all of which was livestreamed.
Other screenshots show what was going on inside ... allegedly depicting the gunman going around and firing on people at close range. His Twitch page was active during this, and it appears people were in fact tuning in and maybe even commenting as it unfolded.
Buffalo's mayor, Byron Brown, called it an"unimaginable nightmare" ... and the Erie County Sheriff John Garcia was even more forceful -- calling the onslaught"pure evil" and a"straight up racially motivated hate crime." All city and county leaders strongly disavowed the violence, and sent thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims.
"This was pure evil," Erie County Sheriff John Garcia says during a press conference on the mass shooting at a Buffalo supermarket that has left 10 people dead and three wounded, according to authorities.
