and three wounded was "white supremacy terrorism" and urged social media companies to step up their enforcement efforts against extremist content.
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. "This information was out there. This was on a manifesto that was written a while back and so we're very concerned about what other information is perpetrated out there on social media platforms and are out there being disseminated globally," she said. "This information from yesterday's attack is already out there, it was live-streamed, the intent of this individual was telegraphed in advance.
"We need vigilance, not just law enforcement, but also from the platforms that are allowing this to spread. They have a responsibility as well," she said.
