at a Buffalo supermarket made threatening comments that brought police to his high school last spring, but he was never charged with a crime and had no further contact with law enforcement after his release from a hospital, officials said.
Federal authorities were still working to confirm the authenticity of a racist 180-page document, purportedly written by Gendron, that said the assault was intended to terrorize all non-white, non-Christian people and get them to leave the country.Law enforcement officials revealed Sunday that New York State Police troopers had been called to Gendron's high school last June, for a report that Gendron, then 17, had made threatening statements.
New York is one of several states that have enacted "red flag" laws in recent years that were intended to try and prevent mass shootings committed by people who show warning signs that they might be a threat to themselves or others. It is unclear whether officials could have invoked "red flag" legislation after the incident at Susquehanna Valley High School. Police and prosecutors wouldn't provide details on the incident, or say when Gendron had purchased the weapons used in the assault.
Once Again... No one picked up or acted on the warning signs... Just sayin'...
