Gendron will likely face further charges for each of his alleged victims. An 18 year-old white supremacist accused of murdering 10 people at a Buffalo supermarket appeared in court Thursday where he was heckled by a victim’s distraught family member who yelled out, ‘Payton, you’re a coward!’ Payton Gendron wearing a white mask and bright orange jail scrubs, remained silent in court Thursday as a grand jury indicted him on first-degree murder following Saturday’s massacre at Tops Friendly Market. Assistant District Attorney Gary Hackbush said the indictment was handed up Wednesday. No domestic terror charges have been filed in federal court at this time. Gendron will be back in court on June 9 at 9:30 a.m. He is being held without bail. The courtroom remained quiet until the end as Gendron, cuffed and shackled was escorted out by a heavy security detail, only the sounds of his chains clinking, when one of the victims’ family members yelled out angrily at him from the courtroom gallery. Thirteen people were struck by gunfire at the supermarket on Saturday, most of them black, and 10 of the victims died, before the gunman surrendered to police confronting him inside the store. Shortly before the attack, Gendron posted hundreds of pages of writings to online discussion groups where he detailed his plans for the assault and his racist motivations.
