Racially motivated shooter pointed to Christchurch attacks in ‘manifesto’
Written by Black Hot Fire Network on May 15, 2022
The suspected gunman in the attack on Tops Friendly Market was identified as Payton Gendron, of Conklin, New York, about 320 kilometres south-east of Buffalo.
It wasn’t immediately clear why Payton had travelled to Buffalo and that particular grocery store. A clip apparently from his Twitch feed, posted on social media, showed Gendron arriving at the supermarket in his car.
