Pearly Young, 77, was killed today in #Buffalo shopping for groceries.
For 25 years she ran a pantry where every Saturday she fed people in Central Park. Every. Saturday.
She loved singing, dancing, & being with family.
She was mother, grandma, & missionary. Gone too soon 🕊

- My friend in Buffalo decided to walk two blocks home from his mom’s house Saturday night. He said when he realized he wasn’t going to make it he called 911 so there would be a recording of his final words apologizing to his family. He wanted his son to hear him say goodbye.
- Replying to @madisonlcarterHe found a tree to rest under and saw the light by his house. Said walking home was like sticking your head out of the window of a moving car. He made it back & called 911 so they wouldn’t deliver that message to his family. This storm was devastating. The stories are gutting.
- Just got a call from a source briefed by law enforcement in Buffalo. They confirmed the shooter is a known white supremacist and drove into town from Broome county targeting this grocery store knowing it was in a predominately Black area of town.
- Gerri Talley, 62, stopped by the store for some cold cuts on the way home from the waterfront with her fiancé Greg. Headed to checkout, Gerri realized she forgot sweet tea & sent Greg back to grab it. That's when it started. He hid in a freezer. She didn't have the chance.🕊️
00:00 - A+ to the person that sent them to get the worst wings in town and told them it would be a huge offense to Buffalonians so they could make a video like this and we could clown them.
00:00 - I’m seeing a lot of unconfirmed reports about white supremacy. My attempts to report on the rise of Buffalo white supremacist factions are a major reason I am no longer working there. I’m not allowed to share more, but wish I could. We should’ve talked about this sooner.The Buffalo terrorist's manifesto is a piece of propaganda designed to spread and promote both his racist views and tactical tips for conducting mass murders. I'm obviously not going to link to it.
- I am on my way back to Buffalo to support our sister station @WGRZ. I don’t have my old 716 number so reach out via DM if you need to reach me. If you know anyone I need to be speaking with send my way.
- For those following from outside of BUF. Broome county is 3.5 hours away (dropped pin). This grocery store is in the HEART of the Black community of Buffalo. The mayor just said he traveled to perpetrate this crime with intention.Just got a call from a source briefed by law enforcement in Buffalo. They confirmed the shooter is a known white supremacist and drove into town from Broome county targeting this grocery store knowing it was in a predominately Black area of town.
- I spent the day with Pearly Young's family to learn more about her. They talked a lot about her hugs, her food, but mostly her smile. Her best friend dropped her off to get groceries Saturday... not knowing she'd be the last to see that smile. @WGRZ wgrz.com/article/news/l…
00:00 - In the toughest of times, Buffalonians find respite in getting to watch this this team play a game for an hour each week. Tonight, it stopped being a game but #BillsMafia is still a family. Cover Damar, this team, his family, and Dear God I beg you cover the City of Buffalo rn.
- Buffalo is home. Some of my friends have family that didn’t make it. I did have to come back.
- I know we need the Browns to win this one... but seeing Trace honor Black lives & my little sister, Cameron, who we lost 8 years ago (purple bracelet) on #MNF is kinda what I needed to finish out this year. Love you @McSorley_IX 💜
- I honestly don’t know how these men go back to Tennessee and look their wives and children in the eyes #GoBills
