Mnrcl WILKINSBURG, Pa. (AP)—Police said today that the African-American man charged with shooting five white men in a Pittsburgh suburb had “anti white” writings in his apartment. Ronald Taylor, accused of killing two and critically wounding three others, singled out whites, according to wit nesses. One former hostage said today the gunman told a fellow African-Amer ican, “Not you, sister,” as he threatened to shoot other hostages. Taylor, 39, was arrested Wednesday after surrendering following the shoot ings at his apartment building and at two restaurants and a brief hostage-taking at an office building. Lt. John Brennan, of the Allegheny County police, said today that a search at Taylor’s apartment Wednesday night found writings he characterized as being angry at whites. He refused to disclose their contents and said he could not make them available to the public. “They were just some of his thoughts. It was basically anti-white, anti-Jew,” Brennan said. Brennan said charges under the state’s ethnic intimidation statute would probably be brought against Taylor, who was expected to be arraigned on charges other than the criminal homicide counts in Wilkinsburg this afternoon. “He said, 'You're all white trash, racist pigs” — John De Witt maintenance worker An incident with maintenance work ers at Taylor’s apartment building appar ently touched off the rage, authorities said. Police Sgt. John Fisher, who negoti ated with Taylor during the standoff, said the suspect was upset that his apart ment door wasn't fixed fast enough. All the people shot were white males. But authorities stressed that the motives for the rampage may be more complex that racial animosity. “There have obviously been soi racial overtones, but he appears lobe; angry young man,” Wilkinsburgpol Chief Gerald Brewer told NBC Vis day” this morning. “He was very angry apparentlysi lot of different things, but one can a lot of different conclusions from Ml The trouble started Wednesday three maintenance workers went toll lor’s apartment to fix a door. “He said, ‘You’re all white trasi racist pigs,”’ John DeWitt, oneoftb maintenance workers, told TlieAssoci ated Press. “He looked at me andsaii ‘You’re dead.’” Taylor then allegedly shot theoila white worker and set his own apart ment on lire before heading to them restaurants. One man was shot at a Burger Knj and three others at a McDonald’s dims lunch time. Taylor is charged with two counti criminal homicide, an umbrellachaia that includes various degrees ofmuii and manslaughter. l&Mjunioi Iggies' 20 Ba: 2 Palestinians killed in Israeli shoot-oul TAIBEH, Israel (AP) — Israeli se curity forces swooped down on an ex- plosive-laden hide-out before dawn to day in the Arab town of Taibeh in northern Israel, killing two Palestinians in a shoot-out. Prime Minister Ehud Barak said the commandos squelched a major terrorist attack aimed at sabotaging the peace process, and his police minister called it the latest incident in a resurgence of Palestinian terrorist activity. Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh said the attackers belonged to Hamas, the largest Palestinian Islamic group. “They intended to lay explosives in the center of one of the Israeli towns and to inflict very heavy casualties,” Sneh told foreign reporters. In Gaza, Hamas leader Sheik Ahmed Yassin said lie remained unaware of what his organization’s military wing was planning but said that recent reports that Hamas had suspended violent activity were wrong. “The military wing operations con tinue until we reach our goal,” he said. Hamas has carried out a series of terror attacks to disrupt Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking. Police Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami suggested that Israeli police were alert ed by Palestinian security forces. “As of now we feel there is coopera tion [with the Palestinians], so the situa tion is under control,” he told Israel radio. Ben-Ami linked the raid to two other recent alerts of potential terrorist attacks. In both cases, the attackers w ere stopped in the planning stages. “I wouldn’t say that the level (of ter ror) has been raised, but there have been more and more incidents,” Ben- Ami said. The police commandos surrounded the run-down two-story house on a street not far from the town square not long af ter midnight. At about 4 a.m., they used mega phones to order the gunmen out, police spokeswoman Sivan Kedmi said. One emerged, and was taken into po lice custody, she said; then another two came out, one carry ing a pistol, the oth er a suitcase packed with explosives.
