From NBC News:

A person of interest was in custody, officials said. He was described as a man in his 70s, with a beard, and not from Kansas.

If that guy in the photo is the perp and is 70, I need to get my eyes checked or get a better perspective on age.

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.

I grew up just 2 blocks from the old JCCC @ 82nd & Holmes in KCMO, and as long as I can remember, the emphasis has always been on "Community." I went to the JCCC Pre-School (NOT a religious school, and open to anyone of any faith,) and as I grew up, I played little league baseball, football, and basketball there. I took Judo lessons there, and later played racquet ball and "aerial darts" there. I would guess that at least half the family memberships were for non-Jews. Going to a Jewish day school, it was my socialization with non-Jews, and it was a wonderful place to grow up.

Everyone should be, rightly, disturbed by his skin color party - but does anyone else think such disgust should apply to all skin color based groups?

This is the kind of scum bag that BOTH sides should be against, but libs will use this schmuck to attack the GOP but what else is knew..meanwhile, the names of two of the victims have been released..

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) — Family members have identified two of the three people killed in attacks at Jewish-affiliated facilities near Kansas City as a man and his 14-year-old grandson.

Will Corporon issued a statement saying his father, Dr. William Lewis Corporan, and nephew, Reat Griffin Underwood, were killed in Sunday’s attack outside a Jewish community center in Overland Park.

The family is Christian.

I, Catholic, grew up a member of the Jewish Community Center, swimming in the summer, piano lessons all at Homes and 83rd

I probably saw you at the pool, and if you played little league, we may have played together (or against each other)

The location is less than three miles from Missouri so Missouri plates is no big deal.

Kansas has not executed a murderer since 1965. Notice how these criminal scum usually surrender instead of fighting to the end.

Give this POS to the kin of the victims. ( as if America had any real justice)

“President Obama called the shootings “horrific.”

“Michelle and I offer our thoughts and prayers to the families and friends who lost a loved one and everyone affected by this tragedy,” he said Sunday night in a statement. “I have asked my team to stay in close touch with our federal, state and local partners and provide the necessary resources to support the ongoing investigation.”

When in hell is this pos of a pres going to comment on the Bundy affair with BLM?

To hell with him and Moosechell

Am not saying is wrong ... Do we have two sources? Might need three sources.

Now that he’s in custody, let’s see if he demands a koran, prayer rug, halal meals, etc.
