The man accused of opening fire on shoppers inside a Buffalo supermarket and killing 10 people was indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday -- a day ahead of the store's long-awaited reopening.
Exactly two months after the shooting, Payton Gendron, 19, has been indicted on 27 counts, including 14 hate crimes charges and 13 firearms charges, the Justice Department said in a news release. Gendron is accused of shooting people inside and around Tops Friendly Market in New York on May 14, killing 10 Black people and injuring three others, with prosecutors alleging he targeted victims because of their race.CNN has reached out to an attorney for Gendron for comment.
Among the victims, who range in age from 20 to 86, were people grocery shopping, a heroic former police officer who tried to stop the gunman, a long-term substitute teacher and a taxi driver who"took pride in helping people."Reopening the community's havenFollowing the shootings, Buffalo residents feared the closing of Tops would severely impact their community -- especially those who did not have transportation to travel to the next closest supermarket.
