Buffalo supermarket shooter, who killed 10 Black people in May, gets life sentence. A man rushed at him during emotional hearing.
One unidentified man rushed at the suspect during the hearing before being restrained by law enforcement officers in the courtroom.
Erie County Court Judge Susan Eagan delivered the sentence, denouncing the history of white supremacy in the United States. “Let ours be the generation to put a stop to it," she said."We can do better. We must do better.”To Gendron, she said: “There is no place for you and your ignorant, hateful ideology. There can be no mercy for you. No understanding. No second chances. The damage you have caused is too great. And the people you have hurt are too valuable to this community.
“I did a terrible thing that day. I shot and killed people because they were Black,” Gendron said. “Looking back now, I can’t believe I did it.”Ahead of his sentencing, victims’ family members delivered statements, remembering their loved ones and denouncing Gendron as a terrorist who had shattered their lives and struck fear in the Black community. Barbara Massey, whose sister Katherine Massey was among those killed, told Gendron that she wanted to choke him.
Gendron had included in his writings references to the “great replacement theory,” popular on the far right, which claims a cabal is seeking to replace native-born White Americans with non-White people, including immigrants. He live-streamed the shooting on social media.in November to state murder and domestic terrorism charges that, under state law, carry a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole. New York does not permit the death penalty.
