Man shoots three in two Jewish related sites in Kansas, then yells "Heil Hitler" as he is taken into custody. Possibly anti-Semitic?

A man yelled, "Heil Hitler," after he was taken into custody in connection with the fatal shooting of three at two Jewish-related sites in the Kansas City area.

Two males were killed outside the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City. A female was killed a few minutes later in the parking lot at Village Shalom, an assisted living facility.

The suspect shot at two other people, but the bullets did not hit them, said Overland Park Police Chief John Douglass.

The victims apparently did not know their killer, Douglass said.

The suspect is a man in his 70s who wasn't known to Overland Park authorities before Sunday. He is not from Kansas. His vehicle apparently had Missouri plates.

Douglass wouldn't say whether the man, who is being held at the Johnson County Jail, is from Missouri. Douglass also wouldn't say whether the shootings were anti-Semitic hate crimes. He said authorities are evaluating comments that the suspect made after he was arrested.

I understand the police wanting to err on the side of caution, but since this guy went to two different Jewish sites to kill, and then yelled "Heil Hitler" upon arrest, I am going to suggest that these shootings might just be defined as anti-Semitic.

I saw the video and the guy looks like your typical old asshole, angry at the world, who suddenly snapped and decided to act on his violent fantasies.

One of the victims is reportedly a 14 year old boy.

Just another example of how gun ownership makes all of us safe.

Update: The man has now been identified as Glenn Frazier Miller, a long time anti-Semite.

Update 2: The Daily Beast has more:

The man accused of shooting three at Jewish centers in Kansas has a long résumé as a neo-Nazi and KKK grand wizard who once created a points system for murder. The sole suspect in a shooting that left three dead at two Jewish community centers outside Kansas City on Sunday is a former Ku Klux Klan “grand dragon,” neo-Nazi, and ex-con named Frazier Glenn Miller.

The guy is a Vietnam vet and well known racist who has a history of racism.
