Racist Kentucky Gunman Charged with Hate Crimes
-----------------------------------------------

In Kentucky, the white man who shot and killed two African-American
customers at a grocery store last month has been charged with three hate
crimes and three firearm offenses. Before the deadly shooting, Gregory
Bush was captured on a surveillance camera trying to force open the
doors of a predominantly black church, the First Baptist Church of
Jeffersontown, before turning his attention to a nearby Kroger
supermarket, where he opened fire and killed Maurice Stallard and Vickie
Lee Jones. Bush could face the death penalty for the hate crime charges.
