A death penalty was given in the USA to Fraser Glenn Cross, 74 years old, who shot and killed three people in two Jewish centers in the state of Kansas in April 2014.
Last week, after being convicted of the murder of Christians Lewis Corporon, 69-year-old, his 14 year old grandson Ryat Griffin Anderwood and Terry Lamano, 53. Frazer claimed, "I shot them because I thought they were Jews."
During his trial, he did not retract and said, "I wanted to kill as many Jews as possible". He also explained his statement by saying, "I did what I did for you, for the sake of your children, grandchildren and for the sake of the future generations of our people", however he expressed regret over killing the 14 year old boy.
The murder was committed outside the Jewish community center in Kansas City, close to a Jewish old age home in the country, while he shouted, according to citizens, 'Heil Hitler'.
Cross began his killing spree in a parking lot of a Jewish community center in Kansas City. He shot to death Lewis and his grandson. From there he escaped and went to the Jewish old age home "Shalom Village", which is run by the Orthodox Jewish community, about a mile from the Civic Center, and there he killed Terry Lamano. Overall, he shot at five, but two were not injured.
A week before the killing spree, the Jewish Anti-Defamation League warned of the possibility of violent attacks on Jewish centers because of the timing of Passover and Hitler's birthday on April 20. On this date acts of terrorism and violence had occurred in the past. Following the incident, security measures around synagogues and Jewish institutions across the country were stepped up.
Fraser was a senior operative in the rank of "Grand Dragon" in the Ku Klax Klan organization of Kansas, and the neo-Nazi movement, the White Patriot Party. The FBI conducted a search at his home, in which computer printouts were discovered, including the addresses of synagogues in the city, maps for reaching each of them, and an exact plan of kosher restaurants in the city with maps. Also, anti-Semitic articles and a copy of the famous book "Mein Kampf" by Adolf Hitler were found in his possession.
As mentioned above, a jury that included twelve judges, found him guilty and sentenced him to death.
After reading the sentence, said "the fat lady sings now. Sieg Heil!", and gave a Nazi salute.
The killer will be transferred to the death row towards executing the punishment.
