The 18-year-old gunman who authorities say killed 10 people at a Buffalo supermarket had previously threatened a shooting at his high school and was sent for mental health treatment
in Norway in 2011, the law enforcement official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told AP.
In a Sunday interview with ABC, Gramaglia said that Gendron had been in town “at least the day before.” The law enforcement official was not authorized to speak publicly on the investigation and did so on the condition of anonymity. Among the dead was security guard Aaron Salter — a retired Buffalo police officer — who fired multiple shots at Gendron, Gramaglia said Saturday. A bullet hit the gunman's armor, but had no effect. Gendron then killed Salter, before hunting more victims.
Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown told churchgoers that he saw the former fire official at the shooting scene Saturday, looking for his mother.
