Hearing Enters 2nd Day for Suspect in KC Jewish Site Shootings

OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — A preliminary hearing for a man accused of killing three people at Jewish sites in Kansas enters its second day, with more testimony scheduled from those who witnessed the shootings.  The defendant, 74-year-old Frazier Glenn Miller, an avowed white supremacist, is charged with capital murder in the April 13, 2014, shootings at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City in Overland Park, Kansas, and at a nearby Jewish retirement home. He has told The Associated Press and other media that said he was afraid he was dying and felt a patriotic duty to kill Jews. None of the victims was Jewish.  Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty.  Witnesses on Monday testified they saw Miller shooting at the sites and described the aftermath.
