Winthrop police are scheduled to hold a press conference around 5 p.m. It is broadcast live above.

The man who killed two people in a shooting in Winthrop, Massachusetts last month wrote less than two days earlier that “racism is healthy and natural” in a bigoted and hateful cover revealed by officials Wednesday.

The information came from logs kept by the shooter, Suffolk County Prosecutor Rachael Rollins said.

“This man had deceived so many, appearing outwardly stable and upright while inwardly filled with extremist ideologies and hatred,” she said in a statement.

On Saturday, June 26, the man – identified as Nathan Allen – crashed a plumbing truck he stole from a building, then got out and shot two blacks before being killed by police. Authorities have investigated the shooting as a possible hate crime.

David Green and Ramona Cooper were each shot multiple times by the gunman after they crashed a stolen box truck in a residential building.

His writings are racist, spewing hatred against blacks and claiming that the white race is superior and sexist, saying that women do not understand men. Much of it is irreplaceable.

After listing the racist grievances against blacks, prosecutors said he wrote in the newspaper on the night of June 24: “Racism is healthy and natural. And holding it back is bad for you.”

The man’s family cooperated with investigators and were devastated by the deaths of his two victims, retired Massachusetts State Soldier David Green and Air Force veteran Ramona Cooper, said Rollins .

Rollins’ office is still reviewing “volumes of extremist literature” that the man has frequently read over the past few months, according to a press release.
