Nassau County, NY police have apprehended the alleged gunman in a shooting at a Long Island grocery store on Tuesday which killed one and injured two others. The shooting happened inside a Stop & Shop supermarket in West Hempstead, N.Y., police said. Authorities locked down the store and surrounding areas in search of the gunman. “The Nassau County Police Department can confirm that the subject has been apprehended and taken into custody,” the department said on Facebook.
Stop & Shop issued a statement saying: “Our hearts go out to the families of the victims, our associates, customers and the first responders who have responded heroically to this tragic situation. At this time, we are cooperating fully with local law enforcement on the investigation. The store will remain closed until further notice, and we appreciate the Long Island community’s support during this difficult time.”
Gabriel Dewitt Wilson was identified as the suspect in the shooting in West Hempstead, a suburb about 27 miles east of New York City. The person killed is a 49-year-old man, while the two other victims were taken to nearby hospitals. Their names and conditions were not immediately released by authorities. The shooting occurred in an upstairs manager’s office at the supermarket, police said.
Jurors on Tuesday found former police officer Derek Chauvin guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter in the killing of George Floyd last May. The jurors came to their decision after 10 hours of deliberations and some three weeks of testimony, which included dozens of witnesses. Chauvin, 44, was taken away in handcuffs and will go directly to jail. He will be sentenced in eight weeks. The recommended sentence in Minnesota for a first-time offender found guilty is 12-and-a-half years in prison for either second- or third-degree murder, and four years for second-degree manslaughter.
Floyd, a 46-year-old black man who was in police custody in Minneapolis for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill, died facedown on the ground with his hands cuffed behind him as the white officer pinned his knee to Floyd’s neck for about nine minutes. Millions around the world saw the video of Chauvin, his hands in his pockets and his sunglasses atop his head, with Floyd underneath him crying out for his dead mother and repeatedly gasping, “I can’t breathe.”The tragedy sparked worldwide protests against racial bias and police brutality and forced many law enforcement agencies to review and reform their policies on use of force.
Three other now-former officers on the scene with Chauvin — J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao — all were charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, and will be tried apart from Chauvin this summer. All have pleaded not guilty.

On Monday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law a controversial bill that increases penalties for crimes committed during a “riot,” which civil rights groups have denounced as unconstitutional. DeSantis at the bill’s signing: “We wanted to make sure that we were able to protect the people of our great state, people’s businesses and property against any type of mob activity or violent assemblies.”
The bill, effective immediately, would allow authorities to hold protesters arrested for misdemeanors without bail until their first court appearance. The law also establishes new felonies for organizing or participating in a violent demonstration and offers “civil legal immunity to people who drive through protesters blocking a road” and creates protections for Confederate monuments and other historical memorials, and makes it more difficult for local governments to decrease their law enforcement budgets.
Opponents of the bill say it curtails citizens’ First Amendment rights to peaceful assembly and free speech. Micah Kubic, the executive director of ACLU of Florida, previously called the bill “racist, unconstitutional, and anti-democratic.
