Gun violence erupted in multiple cities across the nation last weekend, but it was a mass shooting believed to be racially motivated in Buffalo, New York, that led many news reports this week.

18-year-old Payton Gendron is accused of killing 10 people Saturday at the Tops Friendly Market in a predominantly Black neighborhood of Buffalo. Wearing a helmet camera, the gunman livestreamed the shooting on Twitch.

President Joe Biden mourned with Buffalo’s grieving families on Tuesday and asked the nation to reject what he angrily labeled as the poison of white supremacy. 

On Thursday, Gendron appeared briefly in court after a grand jury indicted him on a first-degree murder charge. 

Even as prices continued to rise with inflation at a 40-year high, the Commerce Department said retail sales managed to rise 0.9% in April. However, by the middle of the week stocks continued to tumble and recession fears grew.

Additionally, supply chain and production issues continued to wreak havoc for new parents desperate to find baby formula. President Joe Biden invoked the Defense Production Act to speed production of infant formula and has authorized flights to import supply from overseas.
