Although it hasn't yet been definitively linked to the others, there was a shooting in KCK this morning near 635 and I-70 and this time there is a fatality. I really hope they can find this person soon.

I was wondering if it was that anti-Semitic psycho they caught yesterday.

Quite a lot of the comments on news articles yesterday after the Jewish Community Center and Village Shalom shootings speculated whether the highway shootings were the same culprit. Doubtful, but it was being discussed.

I doubt it too. The guy is from Aurora, Missouri, which is closer to Springfield than Kansas City. I wonder what made him come to Kansas City, and how long he was here?

Police are also saying that the highway shootings last night have nothing to do with the other highway shootings.

I would imagine the presence of a large (for the region, anyway) Jewish community, sadly.

Anybody remember the fringe political candidate who made racist campaign ads and forced a KC radio station to play them back in 2010 (due to equal-time laws)? Exact same guy.

Incidentally, the KC Star is saying they don't think this morning's shooting (which of course was well after the anti-Semite was apprehended) was connected to the others: http://www.kansascity.com/2014/04/14...-shooting.html

I don't remember that, ProspectiveTransplant, but I hardly ever listen to any radio but NPR. Interesting.

Ironically, the man who hated Jews killed three people who were not even Jewish. The 14 year old and his grandfather who died at the Jewish Community Center were members of Church of the Resurrection, a Methodist church. And the third victim, shot at Village Shalom, was Catholic. Not that it matters what religion they were, it's just that he apparently went there to shoot Jewish people and he failed miserably if that was his goal. He is being charged with first degree premeditated murder at 1:30 today.

They did a nice job catching the highway shooter.

I'm glad he didn't wind up killing a bunch of people before they caught him.

Wasn't there a series of incidents in the late 90s where somebody was supposedly shooting into Kauffman Stadium from I-70 or something?
