Payton Gendron, Buffalo Mass Shooting Suspect: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know
Payton Gendron is the suspect accused of killing at least 10 people at a Tops Friendly Market grocery store in Buffalo, New York, on Saturday, May 14, 2022. Gendron was taken into custody at the scene, Buffalo Police said. Three others were wounded. Gendron is facing first-degree murder charges in New York state court and could also face federal charges, including hate crimes, officials said.
A racist and anti-Semitic manifesto and a Twitch livestream were attributed online to the gunman, but authorities have not verified those accounts. A graphic video emerged that shows bodies lying in the parking lot as law enforcement officers take the suspect into custody. Gendron is from Conklin, New York. He said in the manifesto he is an 18-year-old college student and a self-described white supremacist.
Conklin is more than 200 miles southeast of Buffalo in the Southern Tier region of New York. Gendron included his name in the manifesto and The Associated Press confirmed his identity with law enforcement sources. Gendron is expected to appear in court Saturday night for his arraignment, authorities said.

To kill 10 of 13 victims means he must of really wanted them dead and got close to insure it.
If you read his manifesto, he is definitely crazy. If most of victims are white(not known yet to me) it would be hard to say he is a white supremacists.
His manifesto is a little bit here, and a bit there. He has obviously taken out info from many sources and put it into his mixmaster of a mind...plus he like guns.
Probably on somebody’s watch list....but ya gotta wait till they act out.
Perp deserves nothing but the death penalty. He is like a rabid animal. If someone says he can be cured....they better assume all responsibility for his actions and have him live with them.
