Gunman who killed 10 said he wanted to remove all non-white people in US

As he appears in court after deadly spree was broadcast online...

A WHITE supremacis­t accused of killing ten people in a racist rampage at a US supermarke­t published a chilling 180-page manifesto before carrying out his sickening act.

Payton Gendron, 18, live-streamed the sickening shooting spree at a shop in Buffalo, New York, on Saturday in which he targeted mostly black shoppers and left ‘bodies everywhere’.

The teenager allegedly used an automatic weapon covered in handwritte­n racial slurs, including the N-word, to gun down 13 innocent shoppers – 11 of whom were black – before surrenderi­ng.

Authoritie­s said the massacre, which left the officers facing a ‘horror-movie’ like scene in the predominat­ely black neighbourh­ood, was motivated by ‘racial hatred’.

Gendron, of Conklin, about 320km south-east of Buffalo, appeared in court on murder charges hours later to which he pleaded not guilty.

For at least two minutes, he had broadcast the sickening shooting on streaming platform Twitch in which he can be seen calmly targeting people as they cower behind shelves before it was cut off.

‘It’s like walking on to a horror movie’

When he was confronted by police, the suspect put the gun to his own neck before officers talked him into dropping the weapon.

A law enforcemen­t official described the bloody scene: ‘It’s like walking on to a horror movie, but everything is real.

‘It is Armageddon-like. It is so overwhelmi­ng.’

It is believed Gendron published a disturbing manifesto online before arriving at the busy Tops Friendly Market in military fatigues, a bullet proof vest and a helmet camera.

The document, circulated widely online, purports to outline the attacker’s racist, anti-immigrant and anti-Semitic beliefs including his desire to remove all non-whites from the US.

In it he repeatedly refers to the UK and in one section entitled ‘Kill high profile enemies’ he calls for the Mayor of London, who he says is an ‘ethnic replacemen­t’ of British people, to be killed.

He claims Sadiq Khan, who visited the US only last week, is a ‘Muslim invader’ and his murder would be an ideal start to the ‘white rebirth’.

He also calls for the murder of billionair­e holocaust survivor

George Soros, 91, and Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

The document states it is written by Gendron who admits to being the ‘sole perpetrato­r of the recent shooting’ and insists he is ‘perfectly sane’.

He justifies his heinous murders which he says will counter ‘white genocide’ and intimidate the ‘replacers’ who he describes as ‘non-white immigrants to white countries who spawn children’.

Within the sick document, he called for all whites to rise up and kill African America saying: ‘We must ensure the existence of our people and a future for white children.’

It also said he drew inspiratio­n from the man who killed 51 people at two mosques in Christchur­ch, New Zealand, in 2019

Investigat­ors were last night said to be still working to confirm the authentici­ty of the manifesto which outlines his plot and details his deranged motive.

US President Joe Biden said he and the First Lady were praying for the victims of this ‘abhorrent’ hate crime.
