A 73-year-old white supremacist was charged with murder in the killing of three people at two Jewish facilities near Kansas City on Sunday. 

The suspect, Frazier Glenn Cross, could face the death penalty if convicted, according to the authorities. He was a former member of the Ku Klux Klan movement, which advocates white supremacy. 

Cross shot a 69-year-old physician William Lewis Corporon and his 14-year-old grandson, Reat Griffin Underwood, outside a Jewish community center and drove to a nearby Jewish complex, where he killed Terri LaManno, 53, according to the police.

At a news conference in Johnson County, Kansas, district attorney announced that Cross has been charged with one count of capital murder and one count of premeditated first-degree murder.
