New York City news, New York news.

Before going on a bloody, hateful rampage that claimed ten lives at a Buffalo supermarket Saturday afternoon, suspect Payton Gendron posted a 180-page manifesto revealing his sick motive.

The 18-year-old named infamous criminals as his models, particularly Brenton Tarrant, the New Zealand mosque killer who slaughtered 51 people in 2019.

  • Buffalo mass shooting suspect charged with ‘hate crime’ that left 10 dead, 3 hurt
  • Gendron described himself as an engineering student at SUNY Broome who spent his entire life in Conklin, New York. He revealed that he chose Buffalo to commit his crimes because it had “the highest Black percentage that is close enough to where I live.”

    The chilling manifesto included long pages of anti-Semitic rants and details about his plot, his preparations for the rampage, and his white nationalist beliefs he had got “mostly from the internet.”

    “I was never diagnosed with a mental disability or disorder. I believe to be perfectly sane,” he added.
