Two weeks after 18-year-old Payton Gendron shot and killed 10 people in a racist attack at a Buffalo, New York, grocery store, a grand jury is prepared to deliver a 25-count indictment for what was, at the time, the worst mass shooting in the country this year.
As initially reported by Buffalo’s ABC affiliate WKBW, the indictment includes one count of “domestic act of terrorism motivated by hate in the first degree,” 10 counts of murder in the first degree, 10 counts of murder in the second degree “as a hate crime,” and weapons charges. It is scheduled to be officially made public Thursday at Grendon’s next court arraignment in Erie County.
