PHOTOS: Inside the courtroom for the Buffalo mass shooter sentencing

Buffalo, N.Y. (WBEN) - It was an emotionally tense scene inside a Buffalo courtroom as the Buffalo mass shooter was sentenced for the racially-motivated killings of 10 people inside a Tops supermarket in May 2022.

At one point Payton Gendron was ushered out of the court, looking scared, as a family member rushed at him in an emotional outburst during one of the family victim statements.

Photographer Derek Gee of The Buffalo News was the pool photographer inside the courtroom and captured these images.
