NY - 10 dead, 3 critical after mass shooting at a Buffalo supermarket, 14 May 2022 *Guilty*

[ilovewings]

It wouldn't be unusual for an 18 year old to have use of the family car, or have his/her own car.

I wonder where he slept the night before the shooting, as LE are now saying that he was in the area the day before the shooting.

According to the person that said he spent an hour talking with PG ouside of the supermarket the day before the shooting, PG told him that he was camping and had purchased a jug of water.

I don't know the area, wonder where you would camp nearby, if there were local campgrounds or just out of town wooded areas.

what is PG?

P.G. is the shooter.

what is PG?

The shooter's initials.

In response to questions from NBC News about a prior threat investigation into Payton Gendron, the alleged shooter in Buffalo, a NY State Police spokesperson says last June a 17 y/o male was taken into custody and transported to the hospital for a mental health investigation

According to the link below, his username on Twitch was jimboboiii. Searching for that can lead you to a pdf document of his Discord messages with info regarding body armor. IMO he had been planning this for years.

Supermarket Shooting Suspect Linked to Online Hatred

The username on a livestream of the massacre ties him to racist conspiracy theories.

Holy smokes. And he’s only 18.

 

[MrsWatson]

Totally agree.
I wonder when he turned 18?

Born June 20, 2003. So almost 19 now.

But why can't they? There needs to be intervention. Discussion with parents and guardians. Strategies put in place. I guess too often it's the family home that is the actual problem. Clever strategies need to be implemented to curb aberrant behaviour. Give kids some hope, esteem, respect for themselves. It's a battle I know, but we have to try.

What’s so scary is he did get intervention. For his past planned massacre. And yet he still had access to weapons. Anyone who has made serious threats like this (having a plan in place and verbalizing it) should probably not be allowed to buy a gun once they’re of age. Do we have a national registry yet for people who can’t buy weaponry? And are gun shows and internet/private person sales exempt?

That's really unfortunate, to say the least. Intervention doesn't work unless you take away access to guns, etc. and find a way to get them off social media hate sites. Do these mental health counseling centers even know how to counsel kids like this? JMO, its not enough. They need some kind of structured program, with monitoring, that helps them rid themselves of addiction to hate media sites and obsession with weapons and killing.

It sounds like this kid was really influenced by online hate groups.

Suspect in Buffalo supermarket shooting previously investigated for violent threat

New York State Police investigated the suspect for making a threatening statement in June, when he was a minor.

www.nbcnews.com

The 18-year-old alleged gunman suspected of killing 10 people and injuring three others at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket on Saturday was previously investigated for making a violent statement.

Payton Gendron was investigated by New York State Police last year for making a threatening statement in June, when he was a minor, a law enforcement official said.

A state police spokesman did not release a name to NBC News but said the subject of the investigation was transported to the hospital for a mental health evaluation at the time and was not charged with a crime.

Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said the suspect was evaluated and released but no further complaints were made...

The teenager accused in Saturday’s Buffalo supermarket attack had once threatened to shoot his high school classmates but was still able to legally purchase three firearms, reports and sources said.

Payton Gendron, 18, of Conklin, New York, had sparked a state police investigation last year in Broome County that led him to be referred for a mental health evaluation and counseling, according to The Buffalo News.

“A school official reported that this very troubled young man had made statements indicating that he wanted to do a shooting, either at a graduation ceremony, or sometime after,” a government official familiar with the case told the paper.

To the many who have sent prayers to my staff member Zeneta & her son Zaire following yesterday’s shooting in Buffalo - thank you. Those prayers have been answered. He is now home resting, & beginning the healing process. Please continue to pray for the families of those lost.

There's healing in Buffalo's future. (The shooting (and shooter) remind me of 2021 Boulder's King Soopers that also left 10 dead).

I also won't be surprised if the case against PG is delayed since I suspect he will be deemed incompetent to participate in his case and sent for treatment.

Very sad for the community and families.

I hope he’s not deemed incompetent. There is already evidence in MSM that he planned the attack in detail and carried out that plan. He could have changed his mind at any time prior to getting out of his car in the parking lot.

Here's something interesting:

Boy was he lucky!!

 

[passionflower]

You would think that after talking to the man on the bench for that long it might of changed his mind.

Yes, very similar case. Did they made a ruling on the Boulder supermarket shooter regarding a hate crime and terrorism? No manifesto for this guy, but very similar case, although Ahmad Al Alwi Alissa was 21, he also had a brush with the law prior to the shooting and was known to LE.

Yes, and a year ago when he was making threats and plans, he was referred for mental health treatment (see link above).

Unfortunately, laws prevent many clearly in need of treatment from receiving the same if they refuse treatment including abandoning their Rx. PG isn't the first and won't be the last.

In such cases, court action is suspended until the defendant is treated, and/or restored to competency, where they can return to court to face criminal action against them. MOO

Agreed. Our mental health treatment in the U.S. is not proactive, it's just reactive.
