DEVELOPING: One person has been killed in shootings at two Jewish centers in Kansas, authorities say.
Overland Park Police told Fox News that the shootings occurred at the Jewish Community Center in Overland Park and the nearby Village Shalom, an assisted living facility. Officials who spoke to Fox 4 said another person was injured in the shootings, but police would not confirm the report.
N.C. here KC.
Muslim? Always a high probability.
Leftist: That's a given. After mulling it over for quite some time before posting this, I honestly can't think of even one mass murderer or political assassination carried out by anyone other than a liberal.
My understanding from years of researching my better half’s Jewish heritage is that being well educated is an act of survival and not superiority. For example, Jews became bankers because bankers might be shown leniency in times of trouble, and the king wanted Jewish bankers because then he was under no obligation to pay the Jewish man back. Jews bless their community because it is the right thing to do and it counteracts all the evil that has befallen them throughout history - but now their generosity is painted as something nefarious. From ghetto to pogrom, the Jews have been pushed aside and targeted, but now their community mentality is somehow indicative of elitism... I don’t get what people want from the Jewish community. [/rant off]
My observation would be that Jewish people are generally more successful because they value education and work very hard. Similar to Asians.
Where’s the pic?
Police said not a Kansan.
According to this one, two of the victims were Methodists. I saw in other articles that other people at the Center were not Jewish, which is common.

Yes
Sounds like reports of asking about Jewish status might be fog of imagination or he was not wanting to shoot Jews...
Mr m is 72 and looks 60
I’ve been to both locations. Armed security at both.
well there is a synagogue on Antioch road, I know where Torah Learning Center is too on 103
Many reported that he asked people if they were Jewish before firing and that he made antisemitic comments and/or yelled “Heil Hitler!” He most likely is not Jewish.
The article behind the last link that I posted said that the two Methodist victims were a daughter and her father. The article behind the following says that they were grandson and grandfather. Journalism is really messed up now because of university and hiring policies over the past three decades.

I, Catholic, grew up a member of the Jewish Community Center, swimming in the summer, piano lessons all at Homes and 83rd
My apology. I failed, it seems.
