City of Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said via statement today that he agrees with the Department of Justice decision to seek the death penalty against the 2022 Tops shooter.
Brown said, “I think it’s the right decision. 10 innocent lives were taken. 3 others were injured, and the shooter traveled more than 3 hours away to commit this heinous crime in our community. I agree with the Justice Department for seeking the death penalty.”
Brown continued: “The death penalty should apply as a deterrent to mass shootings, including racially motivated mass shootings. Mass shootings are all too prevalent in our country. While I am not ordinarily a proponent of the death penalty, I think people should know ahead of time that if you commit mass murder in the United States of America, the death penalty will apply.”
