Witness to Buffalo supermarket shooting describes the terror of fleeing out a back door as the gunman approached: 'You could hear him coming.'
Jennifer Tookes, of Buffalo, had been in the Tops Friendly Market shopping with a cousin in separate aisles for about two minutes when she heard multiple gunshots coming from the front of the store.The shooting “was coming from the front of the store and as I ran it was getting closer,” she said, recounting her escape to NBC News. “You could hear him coming toward the back of the store.”When it was over, 10 people were dead and three were wounded.
Of the 13 people who were shot, 11 are Black and two are white, Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said. “I saw the three bodies laying outside in the parking lot. One was right by the door. One man was by his car. Another girl was right there.”“I’ll have this in my head for the rest of my life," Tookes said."I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to go into a grocery store or a store."she fell several times as she ran through the packed store to get away from the gunfire. The shooter, she said, was a white man who"looked like he was in the Army,” in fatigues and wearing a helmet.
“I turned around and I saw him shoot this woman,” Crofton said. “She was just going into the store. And then he shot another woman. She was putting groceries into her car. I got down because I did not know if he was going to shoot me.”
