A Washington state man has been arrested and charged after he allegedly called a Buffalo, N.Y., supermarket and threatened to kill Black people there, two months after the deadly mass shooting at the supermarket.

A Washington state man has been arrested after allegedly calling a Buffalo, N.Y., grocery store and threatening to kill the Black people inside. This nearby Tops Grocery store in Buffalo was the scene of a deadly mass shooting in May.

George asked the Tops store employee if the store was cleared out, telling the employee that there was a chance he was already in the store or"somewhere nearby," according to the complaint. In addition to the calls to Buffalo, George also is being charged for calling and threatening a restaurant in San Bruno, Calif., in May 2022. In that call, George allegedly threatened to shoot Black and Hispanic customers dining in the restaurant if it didn't close in 20 minutes, according to the complaint.
