Payton Gendron had appeared on the radar of police last year after he threatened to carry out a shooting around the time of graduation.

The mass shooting happened Saturday afternoon at Tops Friendly Market, a supermarket in a predominantly Black neighborhood of Buffalo, New York. The gunman wore military gear and livestreamed to Twitch with a helmet camera as he opened fire, authorities said. Ten people were killed and three others were wounded.

Authorities said Sunday they believe Gendron, before carrying out the shooting, researched the local demographics while looking for places with a high concentration of Black residents, arriving in Buffalo at least a day in advance to conduct reconnaissance. Officials said the rifle Gendron used in the attack was purchased legally but the magazines he used for ammunition were not allowed to be sold in New York.

and served multiple search warrants, the law enforcement official told the AP on Sunday. Gendron’s parents were cooperating with investigators, the official said. A 180-page document circulated widely online purportedly written by Gendron seemingly detailed the plot of the shooting and identified Gendron by name as the gunman.

Suspected

He was known to law enforcement for nearly a year for threatening to do something exactly like they did and Law Enforcement didn't follow through. Again.

Ok so you’re still considered a suspect if you’ve live streamed your activity?

Just checked out the high school he attended which he threatened to shoot up. Interestingly enough all of the photos of students I saw were Caucasian. So if your opinion is he kills in a racially motivated way, thenmentioning threats to his high school do not bolster your claim

No doubt another loaner with no girlfriend
