(Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania-AP) -- More signs that the suspect in yesterday's shootings near Pittsburgh was angry at whites. Police say they found anti-white and anti-Jewish writings at home of the black man who shot five white people, killing two of them, in a Pittsburgh suburb.

They say the writings were found as police searched Ronald Taylor's apartment last night. Police refused to release the writings or disclose what they said. But they say charges under the state's ethnic intimidation statute will probably be brought against Taylor.

He's expected to be arraigned on charges other than the criminal homicide counts he faces in Wilkinsburg this afternoon. Taylor was arrested after he surrendered in an office building following the nearly three-hour rampage. Authorities say a confrontation with maintenance workers at Taylor's apartment apparently touched off the rage.
