involved with this horrible situation. we have received calls from elected officials, from business leaders and others from all across the country and internationally as well. i want to recognize that congressman brian higgins is with us, the u.s. attorney for the western district, truney ross is with us, ted skennedy, who was on a trip with his family, flew back to buffalo to be with us, and christopher scanlon is with us. as i mentioned, we have heard from a lot of businesses locally and in other places that want to be helpful to the families that have experienced this horrible tragedy. scott bealer and wester

automotive group have pledged $300,000 for grief counseling and other services for the families of the ten members of our community that lost their lives in this mass shooting. i want to thank scott bealer and wester automotive group for that commitment. zephyr and cross country mortgage. zephyr is a new company that will be opening in the city of buffalo. they have committed $50,000 for the funeral expenses of the ten members of our community that have lost their lives. all information about how those donations can be processed and how that support can be provided to the families can be accessed through the mayor's office by calling 716-851-4841.

this assistance is only for the affected families. the 13 people who have been shot and, sadly, the families of the ten people who lost their lives. now for a more detailed and updated law enforcement briefing, i'm going to ask joseph gramalia, the buffalo police commissioner to provide that briefing and introduce other members of law enforcement. >> thank you, mayor, thank you, governor, thank you, everybody here. first, again, we'd like to extend our condolences to the families who have been affected. the tops community, the police community and the entire city of buffalo community, we all feel this as a whole. this is going to be a very lengthy investigation. last night we completed the

process with the medical examiner's office, identifications, and more importantly family notifications. we had a family notification center and we were able to provide all those notifications so we can begin the grieving process. as we said, this will be a very lengthy investigation. there are warrants that will be obtained both on the state and federal levels. we'll be looking at extensive digital platforms, computers, phones, cameras and anything else that comes into play in this investigation. the crime scene is still being held, and it will be held for as long as we need it. the fbi is bringing in specialized equipment to help process that scene. this is a very significant coordinated, collaborative effort with the state police, the fbi, the sheriff's department, everybody else involved in this process. the evidence that we have uncovered so far, make no

mistake this is an absolute racist hate crime. it will be prosecuted as a hate crime. this is someone who has nature their heart, soul and mind, and there is no question this is the direction it's going in. we will be securing a conviction for this individual. our detectives, agencies, deputies, everybody standing before you will work this tirelessly for as long as it needs to go, and it's done by a person, again, who does not live in our community, who brought this kind of hate to our very close-knit buffalo community. we will not tolerate this. we will stand tall against it. we will rebound against it. we will show how strong we are, and all our members of the police department, the sheriff's department, the fbi, the state police will continue to fight hate on a daily basis. thank you. we're going to introduce sheriff john garcia, we have special agent in charge of the buffalo office, also, steve bolanza. sheriff? >> thank you, commissioner gramalia.

as sheriff of the county, our condolences go out to the victims, the families and the entire community. i'm not going to mention this individual by name. he doesn't deserve that. we should never mention his name. as far as we're concerned, he is inmate control number 157103. i could state this, that he is in our custody. he will remain in our custody until further notice. because of his actions yesterday, taking the assault rifle and putting it under his chin, he's on suicide watch. so he's on direct observation from our deputies, video surveillance, and he is in a unit which is separated from all other incarcerated individuals. his travels throughout the facility will be by himself along with two deputies and a

sergeant, and he will be treated as everyone else is treated within the erie county holding center, humanely, with respect, and he will receive the correctional health and the mental health that is needed. i believe the narrative should be the actions taken yesterday by the buffalo police officers, erie county sheriff's deputies, fbi agents, that this shooting started at approximately 2:30 p.m. five hours later, this individual is in custody and arraigned and behind bars. the bravery by the buffalo police officers to engage an individual with a vest, an assault rifle with handguns, i can't say enough about their actions. i can't say enough about our retired fellow colleague, aaron salter, who confronted this

individual to save the lives of others, and may he rest in peace, aaron salter. we will move forward. this individual came from outside the community. this is the city of good neighbors. moving forward, as the mayor said, a lot of people have reached out to the mayor's office as they have reached out to the county office to see what they could do, how they could donate to the families, how they could pay for the funerals. this is what our community is all about. this is buffalo. this is erie county. hate has no place in our county, in our state, in our nation. this was pure evil by one individual, and i know that this community is going to come together stronger than ever, more united than ever because we are buffalo, and we are one. god bless the victims, their families and this entire county.

thank you. steve balanzo from the fbi. >> on behalf of the fbi, i'd like to offer my condolences once again to the families and the victims who were viciously attacked yesterday. we continue, the fbi continues to vigorously work this investigation from a federal perspective with all of our federal, state and local partners. i'd like to give a shoutout to the team who has been an incredible partner. we are receiving resources both locally, federally and from our headquarters to assist in this investigation, including from our evidence response unit at headquarters, along with our criminal investigative division, our counterterrorism division and our services division. we continue to investigate this

c case as a hate crime, a federal hate crime, and perpetrated by a racially motivated violent extremist. if you have anything that would help in this investigation, we ask that you go to fbi.gov/buffaloshooting if you have any video or anything that would assist in the investigation. thank you. >> again i want to thank people at every level, federal, state and local police. the buffalo police responded within two minutes after this incident began. i want to say a special word of thanks to the buffalo police officers, because if not for

their swift response and courageous actions, more lives probably would have been lost yesterday. that is important to know. this individual came here with the expressed purpose of taking as many black lives as he possibly could. so the buffalo police saved a lot of lives yesterday. i want to thank them for that. yesterday, as this was unfolding, one of the people s. it's my pleasure to introduce our attorney general. >> thank you. thank you, mr. mayor. i want to thank law enforcement this morning. i also want to thank the district attorney and the assistant united states attorney general who will be prosecuting these cases.

i want to thank d.a. flynn and, of course, the assistant attorney general for the western district, ms. truney ross for everything they're doing. i know they'll bring justice on behalf of this community which is in mourning right now and pain and in desperate need of healing. i had the opportunity to attend a number of churches this morning, and i heard about the victims. i heard about the senior citizen who planted trees on her block. i heard about the woman who went to visit her husband at a nursing home and stopped by tops to get something to eat. i heard about the young gentleman who worked in the office of senator kennedy who survived, who was shot through the neck and god basically spared his life. i heard about a countless number of victims this morning. i've held in my arms a young lady who worked at tops who was so afraid that she was about to die, who witnessed the

bloodshed, who shaked and quivered in my arms this morning, who was afraid for her community, but afraid also for herself. this event will not this event will not define buffalo. this event will bring buffalo residents together. this event was committed by a sick, dements individual who was fueled a daily diet of hate. so let us now tamper down our comments, all of us. let us make sure we have standards in journalism. let us make sure we investigate social media and my office will be focused on doing that, as we have been doing for the last few months and let us come together as one and let us put aside any differences and let us all stand and remember the words of dr. king, that love, only love, will overcome hate. thank you, mr. mayor.
