Kansas shootings a possible hate crime

A shooting in Kansas City, Kan. on Sunday is now looked at as a hate crime as supported by state and federal authorities, according to NBC. On the eve of Jewish holiday Passover, three people were shot and killed near a Jewish Recreational Center. The suspect shooter, 73-year old Frazier Glenn Cross, was the founder and former leader of the Carolina Knights of the Klu Klux Klan and White Parrot Party, according to CNN. Witnesses said Cross was asking people whether or not they were Jewish before he shot and yelled ‘Heil Hitler’ after being arrested. Although Cross is known to be a supremacist, none of the victims appear to be Jewish, according to NBC. If Cross is charged and convicted of a hate crime, the death penalty could be an option, according to CNN.
