An 18-year-old gunman shot 10 people to death and wounded three others at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York on Saturday (May 14), before he surrendered to police in what authorities said would be investigated as a hate crime and an act of “racially motivated violent extremism.”

Authorities said the white suspect, who was armed with an assault-style rifle and appeared to have acted alone, came to Buffalo from a New York county “hours away” to target the store in a predominantly black community.

Eleven of the 13 people struck by gunfire were black, and two were white, officials said.

Deidrick: Aviation traffic set to hit 7.7 million passengers by 2028

Reading Time: 3 minutesAudley Deidrick, CEO of the Airports Authority of Jamaica (AAJ), has reported that despite recent setbacks, Jamaica’s aviation sector is expected to bounce back strongly, with a projected 7.7 million passengers by 2028.

“Jamaica’s aviation traffic is expected to rebound, driven by tourism traffic growth. Hence, a projection of 6.9 million passengers for 2025 is still being held, and we expect that by 2028 we should be at 7.7 million passengers,” Deidrick said.
