Mass shooting suspect appears in Buffalo court

An 18-year-old gunman opened fire with a rifle at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket in what authorities described as “racially motivated violent extremism,” killing 10 people and wounding three others Saturday before he surrendered, authorities said.

The gunman, who is white, was wearing body armor and military-style clothing when he pulled up and opened fire at people at a supermarket.

The suspected gunman was later identified as Payton Gendron, of Conklin, a New York state community about 200 miles southeast of Buffalo.

Wearing a hospital gown, Gendron was arraigned in court Saturday evening on first-degree murder charges and ordered detained without bail. Another court hearing is scheduled for next week.
