A man allegedly rammed a stolen truck into a house before fatally shooting a retired Black Massachusetts state trooper and a Black Air Force veteran Saturday, according to police. Authorities said they are investigating the incident as a hate crime.

The suspect was later killed by police when they tried to apprehend him, investigators said.

David L. Green, a 36-year veteran of the force, and Ramona Cooper, 60, lived in Winthrop, Massachusetts, where Saturday afternoon's incident took place, police said.

Around 2:45 p.m., the suspect, identified by police Sunday as 28-year-old Nathan Allen, allegedly drove a stolen box truck into a home, but there was no one at the house at the time, police said.

Winthrop Police Chief Terence Delehanty told reporters when officers arrived at the scene, they found one victim shot half a block away.

The second victim "engaged with the suspect" in an alleyway not too far from the crash and was shot, Delehanty said.

Cooper was shot three times in the back and Green was shot four times in the head and three times in the torso, Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins said in a press briefing Sunday.

Rollins said Allen had "troubling white supremacist rhetoric found in [his] own handwriting," and there was evidence of "anti-Semitic and racist statements against Black individuals."

Another disgusting display of bigotry in America.

Same folks be like "respect the troops!!".

RIP to the victims of this senseless bullshit.

 

[RecRoulette]

Had a Ph.D and no criminal history, terrifying shit. Oh, and a license to carry a gun too, wonderful.

 

[Tbm24]

Always with the inferiority complex of trying to prop up the white man as some alpha bullshit. Obviously there's more to it but that they found writings/posts saying it is not surprising in the slightest.

 

[WinFonda]

4 times in the head, and a woman shot 3 times in the back. jesus wtf. good riddance to this hateful sick fucker.

 

[Slayven]

But black supremacy is a bigger threat.

Black folks can't even find peace in their own homes

 

[Samenamenick]

So he randomly stole a truck, crashed into an empty house, ran from the scene, and executed the first black people he encountered?

 

[Kotto]

we are black before anything else so yea

FBI continues to ignore this as per their history.

Even if he didn't, he didn't deserve to be treated like this. Black people shouldn't have to be better than whites to not be ambushed.

 

[krazen]

RIP. By any measure he fit the definition of "one of the good ones" (peace officer, vet) and still got murdered along with his wife while minding his own business.

And the fucked thing is you know motherfuckers in the murderers circle knew he was this fucked up, they just either agreed with his views or could never see a white man of all things crossing that line to murder.

After two people of color killed in Boston suburb of Winthrop, DA says suspect shot by police wrote ‘antisemitic and racist statements’

Has writing in own word that is racist, only targeted specific people, might be racist or white supremecist?
Is that enough not evidence, or do they need his recording or someone seeing him say racism thing as he kill them?
