Summary
Gendron was arraigned Saturday on a charge of murder in the first degree and pleaded not guilty.Gendron lived in Conklin, New York, roughly three-and-a-half hours from the supermarket, and purportedly wrote and posted a hate-filled manifesto online, in which he said he chose the location for the attack because of its high Black population and relative proximity.In the wake of the shooting, Hochul said her state is taking "proactive measures" to monitor social media platforms and called on internet companies to boost their monitoring of hate speech that "comes under the guise of white supremacy and terrorism," including by hiring more people and changing their algorithms to more quickly identify hate speech.
