Law enforcement is tracking online calls for violent attacks targeting Juneteenth events and inspired by the Buffalo shooting, according to intelligence bulletins obtained by Yahoo News.
The bulletins detail several posts widely circulated in white supremacist online forums calling for attacks on events related to the June 19 federal holiday, which celebrates the end of slavery. The posts, according to the bulletins, encourage attacks inspired by 18-year-old Payton Gendron, the white suspect accused of killing 10 Black people at a Buffalo, N.Y., grocery store last month.
Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, pay their respects at a memorial at Tops market, the site of a mass shooting on May 28 in Buffalo, N.Y. “While we are not aware of any specific, credible threats in our [Area of Responsibility] related to this threat, we remain concerned about unaffiliated lone offenders and WRMVEs, who may be inspired by Gendron and/or other WRMVE attackers, due to their ability to remain undetected until operational,” the bulletin says.
Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco discussed the Buffalo shooting and the threat posed by white supremacists during a domestic violent extremist summit hosted by the Anti-Defamation League and the McCain Institute on June 13, the same day DHS issued the bulletin warning.
