"Nothing [the shooter] is going to say to me is going to bring my mother back. Wearing tactical gear, body armor, and wielding an AR-15 style rifle he legally purchased and illegally modified, Gendron committed the rampage on a Saturday afternoon when prosecutors said he knew the store would be full of Black shoppers. The damage you have caused is too great and the people you have hurt are too valuable to this community," Eagan told Gendron. "I cannot get those memories out of my head. "While I was writing this, tears fell from my eyes, thinking about what a beautiful person you took." "I am sure you all are disturbed by the physicality we’ve seen today. "You will never see the light of day as a free man ever again." As she was speaking, a relative standing next to her lunged toward Gendron, who was seated at the defense table.

The victims ranged in age from 32 to 86. Gendron wore bullet-resistant armour and a helmet equipped with a livestreaming camera as he carried out the May 14 attack. President Joe Biden signed a compromise gun violence bill in June intended to toughen background checks, keep firearms from more domestic violence offenders and help states put in place red flag laws making it easier for authorities to take weapons from people adjudged to be dangerous. It was the most significant federal gun control legislation in several years. "I don't wish the death penalty on you," he continued. New York legislators quickly passed a law banning semiautomatic rifle sales to most people under age 21. Authorities have said Gendron promoted a racist conspiracy notion that white people are being replaced by minorities in the U.S. "You don't even know Black people that much to hate them. Thirteen relatives of victims spoke during the hearing, including Simone Crawley, who called Gendron, 19, a "cowardly racist." You did wrong for no reason," Jones said. Some, like Massey Mapps, angrily condemned Gendron; others quoted from the Bible or said they were praying for him. Crawley, whose 86-year-old grandmother Ruth Whitfield was killed, said Gendron made his victims immortal instead of gaining support for his hateful cause.

Gendron was 18 in 2022 when he used an AR-15 rifle to fatally shoot 10 people at a Tops supermarket in a predominantly Black neighborhood in Buffalo.

In the federal case, he is charged with 10 counts of hate crime resulting in death, 3 counts of hate crime involving bodily injury and attempt to kill, 10 counts of use of a firearm to commit murder during a crime of violence, and 3 counts of use and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence. He livestreamed part of the attack on [Twitch](https://safety.twitch.tv/s/article/A-statement-from-Twitch-regarding-the-Buffalo-supermarket-hate-crime?language=en_US). When police confronted Gendron at the front of the store, he reportedly pointed his rifle at his own throat before dropping to his knees, at which point officers handcuffed him. Arizona state senator and Oath Keepers member Wendy Rogers conspiratorially suggested Gendron was a government agent, posting “ [Fed](https://t.me/wendyrogersaz/4751) boy summer has started in Buffalo,” on Telegram. The shooting also highlighted issues of food inequality that made the market a hub in the predominantly Black neighborhood of Matsen Park. As Gendron finished speaking, a woman in the gallery began screaming. When Michelle Spight, cousin of victim Margus Morrison, said, “Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord,” at least one person in the courtroom gallery applauded. “He is responsible for his actions, and he will be held accountable, and he will suffer the consequences for what he did.” “You will reap what you sow,” said Kimberly Salter, widow of Aaron Salter, Jr., the security guard whose shots fired at Gendron were ineffective against his body armor. Barbara Massey, sister of victim Katherine Massey, excoriated Gendron, calling him a “punk-ass” and saying she’d like to strangle him with her own hands. The shooter, [Payton Gendron](https://www.rollingstone.com/t/payton-gendron/), 19, still faces dozens of charges on the federal level, for which he could face the death penalty if convicted. All 10 of the people killed were Black.
