BRANDON, Miss. (AP) — The Latest on the capture of a Mississippi fugitive in Kansas (all times local):
3:30 p.m.

A convenience store clerk in Kansas is in critical condition after police say he was shot by a fugitive charged with two murders in Mississippi.

Maria Loving, a spokeswoman for Via Christi Hospital in Wichita, says the clerk is in critical condition Wednesday but she could not release the man's name.

Authorities say the man was shot Wednesday in Pratt as officers were searching for 28-year-old Alex Deaton. Pratt Police Sgt. Edward Gimpel said Deaton was being chased in a stolen car when he went into a Kwik Shop, shot the clerk and stole a vehicle. Deaton was later arrested when the vehicle car crashed in Ellsworth County.

1. I assume the photo is of Deaton

Skinhead tats.

Who inflicted the wounds -- his wreck, or, the arresting officers?

2. Loves guns. Loves motorcycles. Hates Muslims.

Who would have known that the confluence of his Facebook expressions foretold of this carnage? He killed 3 people.

Too many loose, loose cannons out there, my friends. We need an alert mechanism--and clearly, people like this need help.

3. Well, he seems nice!

He is white, so the gop will get behind him, denying that he could possibly do wrong. Is the clerk a white American, or another nationality? Glad this creep was caught ALIVE.
