BUFFALO, N.Y. — The white teenager suspected of fatally shooting 10 people at a Buffalo, New York, grocery store in what authorities say was a racially motivated attack allegedly also took part in animal abuse, according to a document authorities say he posted online that was obtained by ABC News.
Among those alleged online writings he shared on the social media platform Discord, 18-year-old Payton Gendron allegedly detailed taking part in animal abuse in which he killed a cat, according to the document.
Investigators probing Gendron's background have been combing through hundreds of pages he allegedly posted online, in part to determine if others were aware of his alleged plans to commit a mass shooting targeting Black people. Gendron is accused of carrying out the massacre on Saturday afternoon at a Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo. All ten of the victims killed were Black.
