An impassioned victim impact statement from the sister of one of the victims of the Buffalo supermarket shooting was interrupted when an unknown person lunged at the teenage shooter, disrupting the courtroom, before the killer was handed 10 life sentences — one for each victim.
“You killed my sister,” Barbara Mapps told Payton Gendron, 19, at the latter’s sentencing at Erie County Court on Wednesday morning.
Judge Susan Eagan said the sentences would run concurrently, according to News4Buffalo.
