Man shouts 'get out of my country' before killing one man and injuring two at Kansas bar
If he were brown and had shouted "Allahu Akbar" this would be considered terrorism.
Prosecutors on Thursday charged a 51-year-old man with murder and attempted murder after they say he opened fire in a crowded suburban Kansas City bar, killing one man and injuring two others, but authorities declined to say whether the attack was racially motivated.
A bartender at Austins Bar and Grill in Oathe, Kan., said Adam Purinton used racial slurs before he started shooting Wednesday night as patrons were watching a University of Kansas basketball game on television.
The Kansas City Star, citing witnesses, reported that the suspect uttered racial slurs and yelled get out of my country before he opened fire.
Srinivas Kuchibhotla, 32, died at a hospital, police said. Alok Madasani, 32, and Ian Grillot, 24, were hospitalized and are in stable condition, police said.
Witnesses said Grillot had stepped in and tried to stop the shooter. The Linked-in accounts for Kuchibhotla and Madasani say they were engineers working at GPS-maker Garmin, and that they had studied in India.
