Buffalo attack – suspect previously detained over mental health
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris says the nation is seeing “an epidemic of hate” after a white gunman shot 10 people to death in a Buffalo supermarket
Harris says ‘racially-motivated hate crimes or acts of violent extremism are harms against the whole country’.
Buffalo police believe the incident was a racist hate crime and the person responsible will be prosecuted as such.
18-year-old Payton Gendron is the suspect in custody, with authorities revealing the individual had previously been given a mental health evaluation before being released a day later.
The suspect allegedly opened fire at the Tops Friendly Markets store in a predominately Black area on Saturday, leaving 10 dead and a further three people wounded.
Buffalo’s Police Commissioner says the suspect was armed with an assault-style rifle and body armour when he opened fire.
Authorities say the suspect was also live-streaming the attack on social media platform Twitch, and the company has since taken the post down.
Gendron surrendered to police and was taken into custody at the scene, charged with first-degree murder… before pleading not guilty in court.
The Buffalo attack is the deadliest U.S. mass shooting of the year, with at least 198 mass shootings so far in 2022.
New York’s Governor has pledged to introduce previously planned gun control legislation to address legal loopholes.

Trump announces Greenland deal, easing tariff threats amid trade tensions, boosting US markets and sparking Arctic diplomacy debate.
U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a framework deal involving Greenland, stepping back from earlier threats to impose tariffs on Europe. The shift comes after heightened global concern over trade tensions and geopolitical stability.
The announcement followed Trump’s appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos and discussions with NATO’s Secretary General.
Denmark’s Foreign Minister has since weighed in, responding to speculation surrounding Greenland’s future and the implications of US involvement.
Markets reacted positively, with US stocks rallying after Trump signalled he would abandon the tariff threats.
While Trump reiterated he would not use force to acquire Greenland, the move has sparked renewed debate about diplomacy, trade, and influence in the Arctic region.

Coalition cracks deepen as Nationals break ranks over Labor reforms
Nationals senators defy party lines, voting against Labor’s reforms as Coalition faces internal rifts and leadership concerns.
Nationals senators defy party lines, voting against Labor’s reforms as Coalition faces internal rifts and leadership concerns.
A rift has emerged in the Coalition after three Nationals senators crossed the floor to vote against Labor’s post-Bondi hate group reforms, defying party lines and raising questions about their future in the shadow cabinet.
Their proposed amendment calling for greater scrutiny was rejected, and Labor’s legislation passed the Senate 38 votes to 22, cementing the reforms into law despite opposition pushback.
Coalition leadership will meet Wednesday to assess the political fallout, though some MPs consider the issue minor in terms of potential resignations. The incident highlights growing tensions within the party as internal discipline comes under pressure.
