The two shooters that spent a night terrorizing the Tulsa area have confessed to their crimes. Perhaps in an attempt to gain leniency in a capital punishment state.
TULSA, Okla. (AP) -- Police documents filed in court say the two suspects arrested in a shooting spree that terrorized Tulsa's black community have both confessed.
An affidavit filed Monday says 19-year-old Jake England confessed to shooting three people and 32-year-old Alvin Watts confessed to shooting two.
The supposed reason was vengeance on the Black community for the death of one murderers father after his father assaulted the man.
Jacob "Jake" England, 19, and Alvin Watts, 32, have been jailed in connection with the recent shootings and are being held on about $9-million bail each. The men face charges of murder, shooting with intent to kill and possession of a firearm in commission of a felony.
Three people were killed in the shootings and two injured; all of the victims were black.
England's recent Facebook posts indicated that he was upset about the death of his father, Carl England, 47, at the hands of Pernell Demond Jefferson, who is black. England has identified himself as Native American and white, police said.
We are aware of the nature of Stochastic Terrorism and it's effect on the weak minded and the mentally ill. Their confidence in committing these crimes was probably bolstered by a flood of hate speech directed at the Black Community after the murder of Trayvon Martin.
