Law enforcement officials are investigating whether a retired federal agent may have known in advance of indicted white supremacist shooter Payton Gendron's plans to massacre a supermarket in a predominantly Black neighborhood in Buffalo.
Local news station WIVB reports that law enforcement officials say that the agent being investigated "was among a small group of people to have regular interactions online with the gunman" and that the official's relationship with the gunman is part of their ongoing investigation.
