WASHINGTON – A federal grand jury on Thursday issued a 27-count hate crimes and firearms indictment on the man who shot and killed 10 Black people and wounded three others in an alleged racist attack in May at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket, the U.S. Justice Department said in a statement.

Authorities said he targeted the store because it was a hub in the predominantly Black neighborhood.
