The suspect in the killing of three people outside a Jewish community center in Johnson County, Kansas, is reportedly a 73-year-old Missouri man with a history of anti-Semitism.

Authorities say Frazier Glenn Cross fatally shot a 14-year-old boy, his grandfather and a woman at a nearby Jewish assisted living facility on Sunday. Attorney General Eric Holder has ordered an investigation into whether the killings constitute a federal hate crime.
