The third victim in this weekend’s shootings in eastern Kansas was Terri LaManno, according to a statement on her employer’s website. Investigators have determined that the shootings were a hate crime, Overland Park’s police chief says.
A man with a history of spouting anti-Semitic rhetoric is suspected of shooting to death a boy and his grandfather outside a Jewish community center in Kansas City, Kansas, and a woman at a Jewish assisted living facility nearby.
Overland Park police said Frazier Glenn Miller is the founder and former leader of the Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and the White Patriot Party. But authorities said they would have to investigate further to determine if the violence on Sunday was a hate crime.
Both organizations operated as paramilitary groups in the 1980s, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate groups.
