A man who rammed a truck into an empty house in Massachusetts, then singled out two Black people from a crowd of bystanders and shot them dead, was a white supremacist who had written that white people are “apex predators,” prosecutors said on Sunday. Nathan Allen, 28, stole a truck from a plumbing company, crashed it into a home in Winthrop, Massachusetts, then got out and killed bystanders David Green and Ramona Cooper, said Suffolk County District Attorney Rachel Rollins. Police who responded to the scene fired on Allen, who died in hospital.

A man who killed two Black bystanders after crashing a stolen lorry into a house is believed to have been a white supremacist, police have said. Retired police officer Dave Green and military veteran Ramona Cooper were shot dead by Nathan Allen, 28, in Winthrop, Massachusetts on Saturday, June 26. Allen was killed during a shoot-out with police shortly after. In a press conference on Monday, investigators confirmed they had discovered ‘troubling white supremacist rhetoric’ in the gunman’s handwriting, including anti-Semitic content and other racist writings. ‘This individual wrote about the superiority of the white race. About whites being ‘apex predators.’ He drew swastikas,’ Suffolk District Attorney Rachael Rollins wrote in a statement, per BBC News. The gunman is understood to have stolen a lorry from a garage in Winthrop, before crashing it into an unoccupied home. He then attempted to unsuccessfully carjack another vehicle before walking away, during which time he shot Cooper three times in the back, and retired State Trooper Green seven times, according to NBC Boston.
