Gendron has used the Discord chat room for several months as a kind of memo. He wrote his thoughts on it and posted pictures of himself with guns. He was not known to have given others access to space.
The New York Times relied on a Discord spokesperson who said Gendron had called a select group of people about 30 minutes before the attack.
According to the spokesperson, all invitees accepted the invitation. Who are unknown. Gendron also plans to go live on the platform. Whether he actually did so is still under investigation.
