White man travelled to New York to kill black men

WASHINGTON: A white man from Maryland who told police he traveled to New York to kill black men turned himself in on Wednesday, about 24 hours after he fatally stabbed a man he encountered on the street, officials said.

Authorities described the suspected attacker as someone who had long harbored feelings of hatred toward black men before violently acting on them this week. Police said he carried out the attack in a way that intended to draw attention.

New York police said they charged James Harris Jackson, 28, with murder. Police said Jackson encountered 66-year-old Timothy Caughman shortly after 11 p.m. on Monday and stabbed him multiple times. Caughman went to a police precinct for help and was brought to Bellevue Hospital, where he died, police said.

FBI investigating shooting of two Indian men in Kansas as a hate crime. ‘He yelled,  get out of my country,’ witnesses said, and then shot 2 men from India, killing one. Early Wednesday morning, a little more than 24 hours after the attack, Jackson walked into the police substation in Times Square and announced that he was wanted for murder. ‘I’m the person you’re looking for,’ Jackson told the patrol officers there, Aubry said at a briefing later Wednesday.
