Buffalo mass shooting suspect arraigned on domestic terrorism, murder charges
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The suspect accused in the racist mass shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo appeared in court for arraignment Thursday.
A grand jury indicted 18-year-old Payton Gendron on new charges, including domestic terrorism motivated by hate, in the massacre that left 10 people dead at a Tops market on May 14.
Gendron is the first person in New York to be indicted on that charge, according to prosecutors.
Gendron was also arraigned on 10 counts of first degree murder and second degree murder as a hate crime.
Prosecutors allege the shooting was racially-motivated and that Gendron drove to Buffalo intending to kill as many Black people as possible.
