Three people are dead following multiple shootings reported at the Jewish Community Center in Overland Park and Village Shalom.
Overland Park Police confirm multiple shots were fired at the center, which is located at 5801 W 115th St. and Village Shalom, a retirement home located at 5500 W. 123rd. Both areas are currently on lockdown.
Police took one man into custody at the Valley Park Elementary at 123rd and Nall. The man was heard yelling “heil Hitler” as he was taken into custody.
A 41 Action News photographer on the scene spoke with a man who says another man pointed a gun at him and shot the windows out of his car. That person was not injured.
Overland Park police not confirming shooter said anti-Semitic remarks during shooting. They are investigating as possible hate crime

Overland Park presser has wrapped; bottom line, cops aren't confirming any of the hate-crime details yet.

UPDATE:
In this video, he pretty clearly says Heil Hitler, so not really sure why police confused as to motive:
