Malcolm Graham, the brother of Cynthia Graham-Hurd, one of the nine parishioners who were fatally shot by an avowed white supremacist in Charleston, S.C., in 2015, regarding the mass shooting in Buffalo, N.Y., this weekend in which a white man targeted people because of their skin color. Sunday’s supermarket shooting was the nation’s 198th mass shooting so far in 2022, just 19 weeks into the year, averaging to about 10 mass shootings a week.
