Frazier Glenn Miller Jr., a 73-year-old former Ku Klux Klan leader and neo-Nazi with a long history of white supremacist and antisemitic activity, drove to two Jewish facilities in Overland Park, Kansas, motivated by hatred of Jewish people.
On April 13, 2014, Miller opened fire at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City and then at Village Shalom, a nearby Jewish retirement community. He killed three people in total—two at the community center and one at the retirement home—before being arrested at the scene.
Miller was tried and convicted of murder and related charges, receiving a death sentence. He died in prison in 2021 before his execution. The attack intensified national discussions about domestic terrorism, hate crimes, and the threat posed by organized white supremacist groups in the United States.
