Buffalo mass shooter Payton Gendron has been sentenced to life in prison without parole.

The massacre, which Gendron had planned for months, was carried out with an AR-15 rifle and streamed live.

In November, Gendron pled guilty to several charges, including murder and domestic terrorism motivated by hate.
