A Heroic Security Guard, A Beloved Food Pantry Organizer, Among Those Killed In Buffalo Mass Shooting
Aaron Salter, the former Buffalo police officer, is being hailed as a hero after he lost his life while trying to defend others during the mass shooting at Tops Friendly Markets. Salter, who was working as a security guard at the store, was the first to confront the shooter, Buffalo News reports.
The guard fired multiple shots at the attacker and managed to hit him. The shooter, however, was saved by his protective tactical gear. The assailant then fired back and killed Salter.
“He’s a true hero,” Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday. “We don’t know what he prevented. There could have been more victims if not for his actions. He has been retired for several years. He has been a beloved member, employee of Tops here working security.”
“He’s a true hero…We’re sure he saved lives yesterday.”
