Alok Madasani, one of the victims of a triple shooting in Kansas that some witnesses described as racially motivated, said on Friday that the gunman asked him if he was in the United States illegally and what type of visa he had.

"He asked us what visa are we currently on and whether we are staying here illegally," Madasani told the New York Times by phone.

He and Srinivas Kuchibhotla, both victims of the shooting, were immigrants from India who were educated in the United States and legally worked for Garmin in Olathe, Kansas, according to the New York Times.

"We didn’t react," Madasani said of the remarks. "People do stupid things all the time. This guy took it to the next level."

White House press secretary Sean Spicer said on Friday that it was "absurd" to suggest any connection between President Donald Trump's rhetoric and the shooting.

But Sunayana Dumala, Kuchibhotla's widow, said on Friday that she needs "an answer from the government" about how it plans to stop violence.
