A gunman who killed 10 people in a racially-motivated shooting at a Buffalo, New York , supermarket Last Year has been sentenced to life in prison at a dramatic hearing.

Payton Gendron, 19, pleaded guilty to 25 counts, including first-degree murder and terrorism motivated by hate.

Ahead of the sentencing on Wednesday, A Family member rushed towards Gendron but was constrained by security.

Family Members shared emotional impact statements.

Barbara Massey , whose sister Katherine was killed, said to The Gunman : " You are going to come to our city and decide you don't like Black People . Man, you don't know a [. . ] Thing about Black People . We're human. "

Zaire Goodman, who was injured, suffers from survivor's guilt, His Mother told the courtroom.

" He is dealing with The Pain that I as A Mother cannot bear, " Zeneta Everhart said.

" On That Day this terrorist made The Choice that the value of a black human meant nothing to him… whatever The Sentence is that [The Gunman ] receives, it will never be enough. "

Brian Talley lost family member Geraldine Talley in The Shooting .

He Said : " I forgive you, but I forgive you not for your sake, but for mine and for this black community. "

Investigators said The Gunman researched the racial makeup of Buffalo, which is 200 miles (321km) away from his house in Conklin, New York , before his attack.

Wearing bullet-resistant armour, he then streamed the 14 May attack after writing online how he had been inspired by other racially-motivated shootings.

The Gunman is not eligible for parole.

Speaking to the courtroom, He Said : " I shot and killed people because they were black. Looking Back now, I can't believe I actually did it.

" I believed what I read online and acted out of hate. I know I can't take it back, but I Wish I could, and I don't want anyone to be inspired by me and what I did. "

New York state no longer allows the death penalty.
