Gendron was briefly taken from the courtroom after a person lunged at him while a victim's sister Barbara Massey Mapps excoriated him for killing her 72-year-old sister, Katherine Massey delivered an emotional victim impact statement. The person was restrained by officers.
"I am sure that you are all disturbed by the physicality that we've seen in the courtroom here today," Eagan said when court resumed. "I understand that emotion and I understand the anger, but we cannot have that in the courtroom."
Gendron shot 13 people with a semiautomatic rifle at Tops Friendly Market on May 14. Just three people survived the attack, which Gendron livestreamed.
