MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 15th May, 2022) The 18-year-old teenager, who killed 10 people in a supermarket shooting in the US city of Buffalo on Saturday, had posted a white supremacist manifesto prior to the crime that featured the Black Sun symbol, employed in Nazi Germany and later by neo-Nazis, including by Ukrainian battalion Azov.
According to the New York Post, which reported on the manifesto, investigators believe that the text is authentic and was written by the shooter himself. The manifesto outlined all details of the crime, up to the firearms that the shooter used.
The teenager described himself as a white supremacist and anti-Semite.
The Black Sun symbol's design consists of twelve radial sig runes, similar to the symbols used by the SS in their logo. The Black Sun is widely used by neo-Nazi, the far-right and white nationalists. The Ukrainian Azov battalion used the symbol as part of its official emblem in 2014-2015, and it is still worn by some of fighters as an insignia.
