Jeff Hall, 32, White supremacist leader 'shot dead at home by his young son' - 3rd May 2011

The young son of a white supremacist leader has been detained after his father was found shot dead at their home.

Jeff Hall, 32, a regional director for the National Socialist Movement, was killed in the early hours of Sunday morning by a 'known assailant' at his house in Riverside, California.

Police removed two handguns from the property and questioned one of his five children, believed to be a ten-year-old boy. They have not yet ruled out the possibility that the shooting was deliberate.

Mr Hall was a plumber and rising star in the neo-Nazi group based in Detroit, who ran for office at his local water board last November.

Neighbours said he flew a swastika from his home at a Halloween party last year and attendees wore Ku Klux Klan costumes.

A New York Times reporter attended a meeting of the local group at his home the night before he was killed, where Mr Hall called on members to join him for militia-style raids for illegal immigrants along the Mexico-Arizona border.

He said: 'This is a very active area right now. You guys get your Glocks cocked and get ready to rock. We’re going to the border. That’s how we do it.' Read More
