Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia also told CNN that the accused gunman planned to keep on killing if he had escaped the scene and even talked about shooting up another store.

The accused gunman, 18-year-old Payton Gendron, ultimately surrendered to police who confronted him in the supermarket’s vestibule.

He has pleaded not guilty to murder.

Messages were left with his attorneys on Monday, when no one answered the door at his family’s home.
