Frazier Glenn Miller, who has already been charged in the lethal April shootings of three people outside Jewish facilities in Overland Park, Kan., was charged with trying to kill three others.

Miller, also known as Frazier Glenn Cross, is now facing three counts of attempted first-degree murder, the Kansas City Star reported, as well as three charges of aggravated assault and criminal discharge of a weapon.

Overland Park police arrested Miller shortly after the April 13 shootings and charged him with capital murder in the deaths of William Corporon, 69, and his grandson, Reat Griffin Underwood, 14, outside the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City, and of first-degree murder in the death of Terri LaManno, 53, who was outside the nearby Village Shalom senior living facility visiting her mother. None of the victims were Jewish.

Miller, 73, is a white supremacist and former grand dragon of a Ku Klux Klan chapter in North Carolina. Following his arrest, police found anti-Semitic material in his home, including copies of “Mein Kampf.”
