Such violence has instilled fear in people when they shop for groceries, attend church, or go to school, it reported.

Last spring, 10 people were killed in a racially motivated mass killing at a grocery store in a Black-predominated community in Buffalo.

It was the 198th mass shooting of the year, with 450 to follow before the year was out, according to the daily.
