Payton Gendron, the young man from 12 years he shot 12 people with a rifle in a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, killing ten of those victims, was arrested for doing threats and underwent a mental evaluation last year, but was released after only a day and a half in custody.

According to Reuters, information released by Buffalo Police indicates that state police officers attended a case at a school in Gendron’s hometown, Conklin, also in New York, on June 8, 1280. The then student of 12 years would have made “threatening statements”.

The Wall Street Journal added that Gendron wrote that he planned to carry out a mass shooting. He was detained and subjected to a mental health assessment at a hospital. He was later released without being criminally charged.

US authorities consider the Buffalo bombing a “racially motivated hate crime”. The gunman broadcast the attack live over the internet and reportedly posted a manifesto online. He would have chosen the supermarket because it was located in a predominantly black neighborhood in Buffalo. Of the 13 shot by Gendron, are black and two are white.
