    The family of Ruth Whitfield, one of Saturday’s mass shooting victims, has retained a nationally-known civil rights attorney to represent them in future civil action. Ben Crump, who also represents the families of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd in their respective cases, is leading a legal team that includes local attorneys Terry Connors and Ken Abbarno. They appeared in Buffalo Monday to discuss what investigators say was a racially-motivated hate crime.
