"Justice Department Seeks Death Penalty for Buffalo Supermarket Shooter"
The Justice Department has announced its intention to pursue the death penalty for Payton Gendron, who killed 10 people in a racially motivated shooting at a Buffalo supermarket in May 2022. Gendron, motivated by a racist, far-right conspiracy, was previously sentenced to life in prison without parole on state charges. The federal prosecutors cited intentional killings and racism as reasons for seeking the death penalty. Gendron's lawyers had indicated he would consider pleading guilty if the death penalty was not pursued.
