Jury selection has begun in the federal death penalty trial of the man responsible for the mass shooting at a Tops supermarket in Buffalo, New York. Potential jurors are being questioned about the death penalty as the court works to seat the final jury.
The gunman, identified by WGRZ as Gendron, filed a last-minute motion seeking dismissal of the indictment. Local news outlets reported that the motion argues there would be too few Black people in the jury pool to ensure a fair jury.
