A white supremacist who shot dead 10 black people at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket last year has been sentenced to life in prison in a dramatic trial. Payton Gendron, 19, pleaded guilty to 25 charges, including first-degree murder and hate-motivated terrorism
A family member rushed towards the killer and was overpowered by security forces before sentencing on Wednesday. Other relatives shared accounts of the emotional impact.
Barbara Macy, whose sister Catherine was killed, told the gunman: “You’re going to come into our town and decide you don’t like black people. Man, you don’t know anything about black people. We’re all human.” Her own son interrupted by rushing towards the gunman. “He was thrilled to see me, I was his mother,” she told reporters in court.
