Payton Gendron, a 19-year-old white supremacist from Conklin, New York, was sentenced to life in prison without parole on Wednesday for a racially motivated mass shooting at a Buffalo, New York grocery store last year, which left 10 people dead and three more injured. Judge Susan Eagan denied Gendron youthful offender status and instead sentenced him as an adult, saying there can be "no mercy" for his "ignorant, hateful, and evil ideologies." Gendron's sentencing marks the end of a tragic event that has left the Buffalo community mourning the victims of the shooting.
