Authorities have arrested an elderly, bearded, white man for a deadly shooting rampage at two Jewish facilities in Overland Park, Kansas, right in the middle of America’s heartland.  They’re investigating it as a Hate Crime, as the suspect repeated yelled “heil Hitler” as he was arrested and taken away.

The suspect reportedly drove to a Jewish community center in the Kansas City suburb, asking people if they were Jewish, where he allegedly shot and killed a 14-year old boy and his grandfather.  Teens and their parents were at the community center to audition for a musical contest. 

A few minutes later, an elderly woman was shot and killed outside the Village Shalom retirement home.  Residents were told a tornado was coming to keep them away from the windows and seeing what was transpiring in the parking lot.  Police believe the shooter used a shotgun, and possibly a handgun and assault rifle.  Despite the suspect yelling nazi slogans, police aren’t quite ready to call the murder spree a Hate Crime.

These attacks took place on the eve of Passover.
