The gunman who authorities say killed 10 Black people in a racist attack at a Buffalo supermarket has been charged with federal hate crimes.
Payton Gendron had already faced a mandatory life sentence without parole if convicted on previously filed state charges in the May 14 rampage which also left three survivors - one Black, two white - with gunshot wounds.
Gendron's radical, racist worldview and extensive preparation for the Tops Friendly Market attack are laid out in documents he apparently authored and posted online shortly before the attack. Gendron drove more than 200 miles from his home in a nearly all-white town near the New York-Pennsylvania border to a predominantly Black part of Buffalo. There, authorities say, he mowed down shoppers and workers using an AR-15-style rifle, wearing body armor to protect himself and livestreaming the carnage from a helmet-mounted camera.He has pleaded not guilty to a state domestic terrorism charge, including hate-motivated domestic terrorism and murder.
