Summary

Ten people were killed and three people were injured in a shooting at a Buffalo, New York supermarket Saturday. Police say the massacre was racially motivated and the suspect has been charged with first-degree murder. One of the victims was 67-year-old taxi driver Heyward Patterson who was killed while waiting for passengers outside the grocery store. His friend Deacon Lenny Lane tells Anderson Cooper he was a “class act” and “would go out of his way to make sure you had a little more than he did.” Plus, CNN Anchor Chris Wallace joins AC360 to break down the primary elections taking place in five states tomorrow, including battlegrounds Pennsylvania and North Carolina. He says the Pennsylvania Senate race is the contest he’s watching the closest. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
