40. No word yet on what county he came from.

True that there are hate-filled ignoramuses in rural PA bordering the southern tier. But there are people like that in central NY rural areas and northern rural NY, too.

They are not releasing many details now since the investigation is ongoing. All they say about the distance is that shooter traveled "several hours" to reach Buffalo.

My guess is that he comes from a very white, rural small village so he had to travel to find targets. I am also guessing that he chose Buffalo because it is a politically very blue city with a Black mayor and Black communities to target.

You've got to be really twisted to hate so much that you leave your own community and travel for hours in search of people to kill.
