Overland Park presser has wrapped; bottom line, cops aren't confirming any of the hate-crime details yet.

UPDATE:
In this video, he pretty clearly says Heil Hitler, so not really sure why police confused as to motive:

The alleged shooter is 70 years old. In the brief perp walk to the patrol unit under arrest he looked confused and disheveled. Before we speak of ‘hate’ crimes, they need to rule out psych issues, whether primary or as the secondary result of some medical condition. Resist media sensationalism.
Reports this morning are that the shooter is a well-known white supremacist nutcase with a criminal history. Ron Radosh as PJ Media has quotes from the shooter’s online site. A fringe crazy. What made him go out and shoot people just now is not yet clear. To make things worse, the crazies from Westboro Baptist say they’ll picket the funerals.
That’s Radosh at PJ Media
That was horrible. My most sincere condolences to the families of those who were killed.
As for this pig… I’m coming to believe that anyone who kills people in the name of Hitler or Nazism should be tried, convicted… and hanged, high. Those Nazis who were convicted at the Nuremberg trials for crimes against humanity were hanged.
Seriously. What kind of people believe in such a degradation, such a perversion of humanity? Beasts are better behaved than Nazis.
