A suspected white supremacist accused of gunning down 10 people and wounding three others in a live-streamed massacre at a Buffalo, NY supermarket on Saturday pleaded not guilty to one first degree murder charges.
Payton Gendron, 18, of Conklin, NY, who was barefoot, masked and wearing a paper smock, told the judge that he understood the charge against and was not guilty at an arraignment Saturday evening.
He has only been charged with one count of first-degree murder. It’s unclear why, but further counts for the other nine people murdered are almost certain to follow.
He made no other comment, and Gendron’s lawyer confirmed he planned to plead not guilty to the killings. Conklin has since been pictured in social media profiles.
He lived with his dad Paul and mother Pamela, both of whom are engineers for the New York transit department.
Neighbors told DailyMail.com that the Gendrons are an unassuming family, and that news of Payton’s killings had shocked them to the core.
