The white man charged with carrying out a racist attack that killed 10 Black people at a Buffalo supermarket faces arraignment.
FILE - People pray outside the scene of a shooting where police are responding at a supermarket, in Buffalo, N.Y., May 15, 2022. When police confronted Payton Gendron, the white man suspected of killing 10 Black people at the supermarket, he had an AR-15-style rifle and was cloaked in body armor. Yet officers talked to Gendron, convinced him to put down his weapon and arrested him without firing a single shot.
The indictment built on a previous murder charge filed shortly after his arrest immediately following the attack. Gendron has pleaded not guilty. The domestic terrorism charge — domestic acts of terrorism motivated by hate in the first degree — accuses Gendron of killing at least five people “because of the perceived race and/or color” of his victims.
Prosecutors said Gendron drove about three hours to Buffalo from his home in Conklin, New York, intending to kill as many Black people as possible. Shortly before opening fire, he posted documents that outlined his white supremacist views and revealed he had been planning the attack for months.The shooting, followed 10 days later by a mass shooting that killed 19 children and two teachers inside an elementary school inCopyright 2022 The Associated Press.
