The avowed white supremacist charged with a racist mass shooting that killed 10 people at a supermarket in a Black neighbourhood in Buffalo, New York pleaded not guilty to hate-motivated domestic terrorism as well as other charges, as a prosecutor called the evidence against him overwhelming.The accused shooter, Payton Gendron, appeared in court on Thursday for an arraignment hearing. Gendron did not speak during the brief hearing held with a heavy security presence. The judge ordered the 18-year-old to be held without bond. He is due back in court on July 7.Gendron was targeting Black people, authorities said, when he drove three hours from his home near Binghamton, New York in the US and shot 13 people with a semiautomatic, assault-style rifle at a Tops supermarket in Buffalo, in a predominantly Black neighbourhood. All 10 people killed in the May 14 attack were Black.
