"Coward!": Buffalo shooting suspect indicted and yelled at in court

A grand jury has indicted the accused gunman in the Buffalo, New York, grocery store shooting that left 10 dead and three others wounded on a first-degree murder charge. Payton Gendron, 18, appeared briefly in court Thursday. Assistant district attorney Gary Hackbush said the indictment was handed up Wednesday. Gendron, wearing orange clothing and mask, was silent throughout the proceeding and sent back to jail. Someone shouted "Payton you’re a coward!" as he was led out. Ten people were killed, and three others wounded in the Saturday shooting at the Tops Friendly Market in a predominantly Black neighborhood of Buffalo. Authorities said 11 out of the total 13 people shot were Black. Gendron, who is White, allegedly posted a manifesto hundreds of pages long online hours before the shooting detailing his infatuation with the White supremacy ideology.
