WHITE SUPREMACIST GETS LIFE IN PRISON FOR BUFFALO MASSACRE

White supremacist gets life in prison for Buffalo massacre

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A white supremacist who killed 10 Black people at a Buffalo supermarket has been sentenced to life parole. Payton Gendron was forced to listen as relatives of his victims express the pain and rage over racist attack. Wendesday’s sentencing was disrupted briefly when a man in the audience rushed at him and was quickly restrained. Gendron pleaded guilty to charges including murder and domestic terrorism motivated by hate. He still faces federal charges that could result in a death sentence if prosecutors choose to seek it. Judge Susan Eagan said his rampage was a reckoning for a nation “founded and built, in part, on white supremacy.”
