The white gunman accused of the racist killing ten Black people inside a Buffalo<\/strong><\/a> supermarket has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.<\/p>\n

Payton Gendron<\/strong>, the 19-year-old responsible for carrying out the mass shooting last May, cried as he told the court he regretted his actions during his sentencing on Wednesday, according to CNN<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Buffalo Mass Shooter Tearfully Apologizes For Racist Mass Shooting During Sentencing<\/h3>\n
\n

\u201cI\u2019m very sorry for all the pain I forced the victims and their families to suffer through. I\u2019m very sorry for stealing the lives of your loved ones. I cannot express how much I regret all the decisions I made leading up to my actions on May 14,\u201d Payton Gendron, wearing an orange jumpsuit and shackles, said in court.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Gendron admitted he \u201cshot and killed people because they were Black,\u201d and added that he \u201cbelieved what (he) read online and acted out of hate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n

\u201cI did a terrible thing that day. I shot and killed people because they were Black. Looking back now, I can\u2019t believe I actually did it. I believed what I read online and acted out of hate. I know I can\u2019t take it back, but I wish I could, and I don\u2019t want anyone to be inspired by me and what I did.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Shade Room<\/strong><\/em><\/a> previously reported that Gendron pleaded guilty in November to one count of domestic act of terrorism motivated by hate, along with ten counts of first-degree murder,\u00a0three counts of attempted murder and a weapons possession charge for the mass shooting at Tops Friendly Markets back on May 14, 2022.<\/p>\n

Man Rushes At Gendron During Sentencing In An Attempted Attack During Victim Impact Statements<\/h3>\n

As victims\u2019 family members gave their impact statements, a man rushed at Gendron but was quickly stopped by security as Gendron was removed from the courtroom, the outlet reports.<\/p>\n

The attempted assault on Gendron came during a victim impact statement by Barbara Mapps, the sister of Katherine Massey, a 72-year-old who was amongst those killed in the attack.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI want personally to choke you,\u201d Mapps said in a loud voice. \u201cYour little punk a** decided to come here to kill Black people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The man who lunged at Gendron will not be charged with a crime, CNN reports.\u00a0Gendron returned to the courtroom after a short recess, whereupon Erie County Court Judge Susan Eagan restarted the sentencing hearing.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe cannot have that in the courtroom,\u201d Eagan said. \u201cWe must conduct ourselves appropriately because we are all better than that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Judge Rebukes Gendron For Mass Shootings: \u201cThere Can Be No Mercy For You, No Second Chances\u201d<\/h3>\n

The judge did not stop with just the sentencing, and excoriated Gendron for his \u201cignorant, hateful and evil ideologies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThere is no place for you or your ignorant, hateful and evil ideologies in a civilized society,\u201d she said. \u201cThere can be no mercy for you, no understanding, no second chances. The damage you have caused is too great, and the people you have hurt are too valuable to this community. You will never see the light of day as a free man ever again.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Crime: How Gendron Earned His Life Sentence<\/h3>\n

On the afternoon of May 14, Gendron targeted the grocery store, which happens to be in a Black-majority neighborhood..<\/p>\n

The teen was heavily armed and donned tactical gear, including a tactical helmet and plated armor, according to authorities.<\/p>\n

Gendron even live-streamed the mass murder using a camera.<\/p>\n

At the time of the shootings, he was carrying an illegally modified semi-automatic rifle.<\/p>\n

He first shot four people outside the grocery store \u2013 three of which died from their injuries \u2013 before entering the store where he fatally shot an armed security guard and eight other victims, six of whom didn\u2019t survive.<\/p>\n
