Mangano said the patrols would be boosted in response to a shooting that took place this weekend in Overland Park, Kan. Officials said the shooting was committed by a "founder and former leader of the Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and the White Patriot Party," according to CNN. A woman at a Jewish assisted living facility and a young boy and his grandfather were tragically killed in the shooting.
