A New York judge has agreed to give prosecutors more time to put together their case against the white gunman accused of killing 10 people in a racist attack on a Buffalo grocery store.
Police continue the investigation at the Tops supermarket May 18 in the Cold Spring neighborhood of Buffalo, N.Y. A gunman opened fire at the store on Saturday, killing 10 people and wounding three others. Police say it's being investigated as a racially motivated hate crime.
Judge Craig Hannah agreed to move Gendron's felony hearing, which will determine if there's enough evidence to proceed to trial, to June 9. The 18-year-old white man is accused of targeting a store in a Black communityIt was the second court appearance for Gendron, who entered the courtroom in an orange jumpsuit. On Saturday he pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder charges.
"Emotions are high. I understand the rawness of this matter. However, I do not operate in a court of public opinion," Flynn said."I operate in a court of law, and this defendant is innocent until proven guilty."
