Buffalo shooting suspect’s online documents could inspire copycat attacks, intelligence bulletin warns
« The alleged abuser has prioritized creating a comprehensive ‘how to’ guide for would-be attackers, including advice on building opportunities for maximum casualties and optimizing personal defense, » indicates the bulletin.
The bulletin comes several months after 10 people were killed in what authorities say was a racially motivated attack at Tops Friendly Market May 14.
CBS News first reported the bulletin.
The 180-page document, which the bulletin calls a manifesto, includes a breakdown of the weapons, ammunition and equipment considered in planning the attack and a cost-benefit analysis of using selected materials, the bulletin said.
About 100 pages of the document provide recommendations on specific tactics and procedures « aimed at maximizing casualties, » according to the bulletin.
Given the concern, the bulletin urges state and local authorities and the private sector to report suspicious activity « promptly », asking them to be on the lookout for such things as the increased circulation of guidance documents from the attacker and the unusual purchase of military-style tactical gear. .
