[quote]Overland Park Fire Department spokesman Jason Rhodes said Sunday afternoon that one person of interest is in custody. Rhodes said the shootings happened at 2 different locations, but did not specify where the shootings happened.
The Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City in Overland Park posted on its Facebook page that a "shooting incident" happened near the White Theater entrance and the building is on lockdown.[/quote]

If that's true then somebody forgot to tell him that Hitler is in hell getting pineapples shoved up his ass by Satan. The shooter will probably be in good company.

I thought Hell was just a movie theater playing modern Adam Sandler.
The suspect is one "Frazier Glenn Cross", who has also gone by Frazier Glenn Miller. He is a known white supremacist and was once associated with the KKK and other white supremacist outfits.

Back when the tea party was ramping up for 2010 elections a lot of weirdos were coming out of the woodworks to throw their hat in to the ring to try and cash in on folk paying more attention than usual. Cross/Miller was one of them, airing a bizarre ad on a Kansas City area radio station in his failed run for the senate as a write-in candidate:
