3 die in 2 Kansas City Jewish centers shootings
2014-04-14
Reports indicate that three people were killed and another seriously wounded in two shootings in two Jewish centers in Kansas, local media reported. A suspect has been arrested and was heard yelling "heil Hitler" as he was taken into custody.

KSHB reported that one person is in custody following multiple shootings reported at the Jewish Community Center in Overland Park and Village Shalom.
The latter is a retirement community...
Overland Park Police confirmed that multiple shots were fired at the JCC center and the retirement home.

It is unclear whether the incidents are related, though a KCTV reporter claimed "a man in handcuffs at the scene was yelling about Hitler." Additional reports claimed the man was heard yelling "heil Hitler."
Update1: Breitbart adds:
Grandfather, grandson killed at KC Jewish Center: neither was Jewish.

The alleged shooter, a man in his 70s, was not from Kansas and used a shotgun in the attack. He had a handgun in his possession when he was arrested, the Star reports.
Update2: The Kansas City Star reports:
A 73-year-old southwest Missouri man with a long history of anti-Semitism is suspected of killing two people outside Overland ParkÂ’s Jewish Community Center and then a third at a nearby Jewish assisted living facility.

After officers arrested Frazier Glenn Cross — an Aurora, Mo., man better known as F. Glenn Miller — Sunday afternoon, authorities said he went on a rant inside the patrol car.

#5  Â“What will our good friends at The Nation say now, when his very first sentence notes how inspired he is by the words of none other than Max Blumenthal, whose antisemitic and anti-Zionist book was released by the magazineÂ’s own publishing house, Nation Books?”

Was advised the US is oppressive:
"You should be more expressive!
Better yet, be transgressive...
Mmmkay... that's a little excessive."

#3  these are the first murders by the KKK since the early 1980s

of course the SPLC will be jumping up and down and telling everyone that the KKK is back and a bigger threat than anything except perhaps pro Hetero sex marriage advocates and islamophobes

#1  NBC reports this morning that the shooter is known to the Southern Poverty Law Center. He was a grand dragon of the Carolina Knights of the KKK and founded the neo-Nazi group The Order, as well getting in trouble with the law for a variety of misbehaviours.
