Update 5:35 p.m.: The shooter reportedly livestreamed his actions on Twitch, BNO News reported. He also reported posted a 106-page manifesto espousing white supremacist beliefs, particularly the “great replacement” conspiracy theory, the news outlet and multiple experts on American extremism report. In the manifesto, he said he was 18 years old.

“If there’s one thing I want you to get from these writings, it’s that White birth rates must change,” the manifesto says. “Everyday the White population becomes fewer in number. To maintain a population the people must achieve a birth rate that reaches replacement fertility levels, in the western world that is about 2.06 births per woman.”

Sources told the Buffalo News that one of the fatalities was a retired Buffalo police officer who had been working security at the Tops market.

The News reported that five bodies were found in the parking lot.

“Bullets and blood are everywhere,” a police source said.

Shonnell Harris, an operations manager at the supermarket, told the newspaper she ran toward the back of the store, falling several times before getting away. She said she saw the shooter and described him a a white man wearing camouflage.

“He looked like he was in the army,” Harris said, adding that the store was “packed.”

Police officials say the man had a camera, and investigators are trying to determine if he livestreamed the shooting. He was also wearing body armor, including a military grade helmet.
