Gabriel DeWitt Wilson, the man who allegedly shot and killed a grocery store employee and injuring two others Tuesday at a Long Island Stop & Shop, has been charged with second-degree murder and four counts of attempted murder, Nassau County officials announced during a press conference Wednesday.
Wilson, 31, allegedly entered a Stop & Shop grocery store Tuesday in West Hempstead, New York, and shot seven rounds toward five individuals with a .38 caliber semi-automatic handgun in the management offices on the second floor, according to Stephen Fitzpatrick, commanding officer of the Nassau County Police Department's homicide division.Elected officials, Jewish advocacy groups and civil rights leaders are vowing to “push back” against the message of a White nationalist group that staged a march last week near downtown Columbus, Ohio, calling the demonstration an act of hate unwelcome in their community – and the United States more broadly.
Senate Democrats have confirmed some of President Joe Biden’s picks for the federal bench this week in the face of President-elect Donald Trump’s calls for a total GOP blockade of judicial nominations – in part because several Republicans involved with the Trump transition process have been missing votes.
