Federal officials hosted a conference call with law enforcement nationwide on Sunday, one day after a gunman killed 10 people and wounded three others at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, according to sources familiar with the call.

One source told CNN the call lasted 30 minutes and sought to inform state and local law enforcement officials about the details of the Buffalo case, including the timeline of when the gunman acquired his weapons and how the suspect ended up at that location.

The source noted the call was designed to ensure law enforcement officials were familiar with the case so they can help spot possible plans of copycat attacks.

The source stressed that reporting any intelligence to federal authorities who track incidents and threats is critical to developing patterns that can then be shared to the wider law enforcement community.
