Buffalo shooter charged with federal hate crimes
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on Wednesday filed federal hate crime charges against the accused Buffalo supermarket shooter.
The DOJ filed a criminal complaint in the Western District of New York, charging 18-year-old Payton Gendron with 26 counts, including 10 counts of a hate crime resulting in death.
The alleged gunman from Conklin, N.Y., is accused of opening fire at Tops Market in Buffalo on May 14, killing 10 and injuring three others in a racially-motivated attack.
Gendron has pleaded not guilty to a 25-count indictment, which includes first-degree murder charges, that a New York grand jury returned earlier this month.
