NEW YORK — New York Gov. Kathy Hochul unveiled proposals Wednesday afternoon to strengthen the state's gun laws and close"loopholes" in the wake of the deadly Buffalo mass shooting over the weekend.
Broome County, New York, District Attorney Michael Korchak said during a news conference Wednesday that Gendron was participating in an online class when he"made some disturbing comments about murder and suicide," which prompted the teacher to follow up to"get clarification." "This defendant had been interviewed by a mental health professional and professional who deemed him to be not dangerous or not at risk," Korchak said."[Gendron] was released to the custody of his parents and returned home. He was actually cleared and went back to school and participated in his high school graduation."
Because no red flag warning was issued against Gendron, he was able to legally purchased the Bushmaster at a gun store in Endicott, New York, which authorities said he modified with an extended magazine that is illegal to own in New York. Investigators said he purchased the magazine at a Pennsylvania gun store 10 minutes from his home in Conklin.
"Think about all the people who saw the livestream," Hochul said."The virus spreads and they find others to share their worldview, radicalizing others.""The terror attack in Buffalo has once again revealed the depths and danger of the online forums that spread and promote hate," James said.
