BREAKING: Federal hate crime charges filed against Buffalo shooter who allegedly killed 10 people in a racist attack at a supermarket last month, officials say.
The suspected Buffalo shooter, 18-year-old Payton Gendron, will face 26 counts of hate crimes and firearms offenses, which carry the potential of the death penalty, the Department of Justice announced.
“Gendron’s motive for the mass shooting was to prevent Black people from replacing white people and eliminating the white race, and to inspire others to commit similar attacks," according to the criminal complaint filed in the Western District of New YorkThe charges include 10 counts of hate crimes resulting in death, three counts of hate crimes involving bodily injury and attempt to kill, 10 counts of using a firearm to commit murder during and in retaliation to a crime of violence and...
Gendron has already been indicted on 25 state criminal counts that include murder and attempted murder as a hate crime and weapons possession.NBC legal analyst Danny Cevallos said he's confident the state case would go forward ahead of any federal prosecution. "If I'm the federal prosecutors, I probably want to wait for the state case and get the benefit of that evidence and a conviction," Cevallos said."A hate crime is essentially a crime plus the additional element of motive."
