Federal prosecutors to pursue death penalty for Buffalo mass shooter.

Federal prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Payton Gendron, a 20-year-old gunman who killed 10 Black people in Buffalo in 2022. Prosecutors argue Gendron's racially-motivated crimes, including his expressed bias and hatred towards Black people, contributed to the killings. Gendron is currently serving a life sentence with no parole after pleading guilty to murder and hate-motivated domestic terrorism charges.
