Sunday afternoon, shots rang out a Jewish Community Center and a Jewish retirement facility in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park. Three people were killed. The suspect, a former Ku Klux Klan leader, is in custody. The gunman struck on the day before Passover, when Jews commemorate being freed from slavery and their Exodus from Egypt. We talk safety at Jewish institutions in Chicago with Jay Tcath, Executive Vice President of The Jewish Federation of Chicago.
