A total of three people were killed in both shootings. The suspected gunman, described as a man in his seventies, was taken into custody. The suspect was later identified as 73-year-old Frazier Glenn Miller, Jr. of Aurora, Missouri, originally from North Carolina. He was a Neo-Nazi and former political candidate. ==Shootings== The shootings began at around 1:00 p.m. (CDT) at a rear parking lot of the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City, near the entrance to the White Theater. The gunman first fired a handgun at two men. One of the men managed to escape immediately, while the second man tried to flee in his car. A bullet struck the shoulder bag of the man's seat, but he escaped uninjured.〔("F. Glenn Miller Jr. talks for the first time about the killings at Jewish centers" )〕 The shooter then fired at two males, 69-year-old Dr. William Lewis Corporon and his 14-year-old grandson, Reat Griffin Underwood, who were hit by gunfire as they pulled into the parking lot inside their car. Corporon died at the scene of a shotgun wound to the head, while Underwood died of handgun wounds at a hospital. During the time of the first shooting, teenagers were inside the building auditioning for KC Superstar, a singing competition.〔 In addition to that, actors, crew members, and other staff were in the White Theater preparing for a 2:00 p.m. performance of ''To Kill a Mockingbird''. The gunman was able to fire several shots into the building. The staff inside the building were the first to make 9-1-1 calls alerting the police. After firing at several other people, but missing, the shooter fled in his car and opened fire at Village Shalom, a Jewish retirement community located a little more than a mile away from the community center. A woman, Terry LaManno, was killed in the parking lot,〔〔 and two other people were shot at, but the gunshots missed both people. The gunman was arrested at 2:45 p.m. outside Valley Park Elementary School by two police officers who identified him in his car using tips given by witnesses. As he was led away, he made antisemitic remarks, according to witnesses. A police official confirmed that the gunman used a Remington Model 870 shotgun in the shootings, and several other weapons, including a handgun, were also recovered from his car. Investigators were also determining whether an assault rifle was also used.〔〔 In a press conference, the Federal Bureau of Investigation stated that it was "determined" that the motivation for the shootings was antisemitism.〔 Several items were seized from the suspect's home in Aurora, Missouri, including three boxes of ammunition, a red shirt with a swastika symbol, antisemitic publications (such as ''Mein Kampf'' written by Adolf Hitler), a list of kosher places, directions to synagogues, and a printout of the KC Superstar competition at the community center.〔("FBI: Jewish center shooting suspect did research before killings" )〕〔("FBI search warrant returns show Jewish center shooting suspect did research before killings" )〕〔("Documents list items taken from home of Overland Park hate shootings suspect Frazier Glenn Miller" )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Overland Park Jewish Community Center shooting」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
