It's the Daily Fail, but FWIW ...

Buffalo white supremacist, 18, threatened a school graduation shooting last year and was given psychiatric treatment - but still legally bought three guns: Classmates reveal he acted strangely, wore hazmat suit to school for a week and scared them with 'Hitler-esque' political views

Another one slips through the cracks until it's too late.

Payton Gendron, 18, was investigated by the New York State Police for threating to shoot his classmates during graduation in June 2021
Police suggested mental health evaluation and counseling
Classmates recall his 'Hitler-esque' political leanings during a political science exercise
Gendron wore a hazmat suit to school for the first week of his senior year to protect against Covid
In his 180-page manifesto refers to the paranoid white supremacist theory of 'white replacement'
He looks up to other racially-motivated spree killers like Dylan Roof who killed nine people in a black church in South Carolina
At least 10 people were killed and three were reported injured after a gunman opened fire inside a Buffalo supermarket on Saturday while livestreaming
Gendron had the n-word scrawled on his rifle, targeted a store in a predominantly black area and shot 11 black people, police said
Erie County District Attorney John Flynn charged him with one count of first degree murder
The suspect, filmed wearing a military uniform, has been taken into custody by the Buffalo Police Department and will be charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder as early as Saturday night
The suspect was reportedly wearing body armor as witnesses said they saw the man wearing a black helmet and carrying a rifle into the store
Ex-Buffalo cop Aaron Salter Jr, who was working at the market as a security guard, tried to stop the gunman but was fatally shot himself
86-year-old Ruth Whitfield, the mother of the former Buffalo fire commissioner, was also gunned down
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Buffalo native, said the state is providing assistance to the Buffalo Police Department
N-word could be seen written on the front sight of gunman's automatic rifle
President Biden says 'hate must have no safe harbor'
