CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A man expressed no remorse after being sentenced to two life sentences in connection with a double-murder at Moe's Southwest Grill in Dilworth.
Derrick Gregory pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Jeff Maher and Vinnie Ferens, who were managers at the restaurant.
The shooting happened in October 2007.
A judge sentenced Gregory to two consecutive life sentences without parole.

After the sentencing, Gregory spoke in court, saying "I felt that what I did was right, although it was wrong. I was disrespected."
Gregory said he felt he had been wronged because he was fired a month after he had been hired and coworkers at the restaurant allegedly teased him because he was autistic.
The family members of the victims were visibly upset and stormed out of the courtroom after Gregory's statement.
Gregory was fired from Moe's two weeks before the shooting. He said in court that his goal was to kill the managers and another employee who he felt wronged him.
