Buffalo Shooting Suspect Threatened A Shooting At His High School

  • A white teenager who killed 10 people at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, Saturday, had threatened a shooting at his high school last year.
  • New details have emerged about 18-year-old suspect Payton Gendron, whose assault on the supermarket was described by authorities as "racially motivated violent extremism."
  • Police said 11 of 13 people shot were Black.
  • Buffalo's Police Commissioner said Sunday, that Gendron was detained last June after he made a "generalized" threat at his high school.
  • According to ABC News, he was never charged with a crime and had no further contact with law enforcement after undergoing a mental health evaluation.
  • Does this new information raise questions about a missed opportunity to put a potential mass shooter under closer law enforcement scrutiny? Force him to get help? Make sure he didn't have access to firearms?
