Summary
"Today is a shock."Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia told reporters at a press conference Saturday that one of the store's employees, a "beloved" security guard who happened to be a retired Buffalo police officer, "engaged the suspect" and opened fire on him.But Gramaglia said due to the gunman's heavy body armor, none of the security guard's bullets deterred the shooter."The suspect engaged our retired officer and he was ultimately shot and deceased at the scene," Gramaglia said, adding that the guard was "a hero in our eyes."The Daily Beast reported that Salter, a father of three, had joined the Buffalo Police Department immediately after high school.
