Gramaglia said the gunman shot four people outside the store, and three of them died. Inside the store, a security guard who was a retired Buffalo police officer fired multiple shots at the gunman and struck him, but the bullet hit the gunman's bulletproof vest and had no effect, Gramaglia said. He said the gunman then killed the security guard.

The gunman, a white man targeting black shoppers, was taken into custody after being "tackled" by police, according to one eyewitness report.
