Before Srinivas Kuchibhotlas death in a possible hate crime, his family warned him about the dangers of remaining in the United States.
His wife was unsure whether they should stay, even as they planned to start a family in Kansas. I told him many times we should think about going back [to India], Sunayana Dumala said at a news conference Friday.
And yet, Dumala said, Kuchibhotla was not fearful. He refused to abandon the country he loved.
He always assured me good things will happen to good people, she said, speaking briefly and between deep breaths, two days after his death.
Police say Adam W. Purinton, 51, opened fire Wednesday night on Kuchibhotla and another Indian man drinking with him at Austins Bar and Grill in Olathe, a Kansas City, Kan., suburb killing Kuchibhotla, wounding his friend and a third patron who tried to help.
Witnesses reported that Purinton shouted racial slurs and told the two men to get out of my country. He was arrested at a bar in Missouri, where the bartender told police Purinton claimed to have killed two Middle Eastern men, according to the Kansas City Star. The FBI is investigating whether to add hate-crime charges to his counts of murder and attempted murder.
I was told that guy very proudly went to another bar and said he shot two Muslim guys, Dumala said.

Gee, ya think?!? The guy shoots 2 men, goes to another bar & bragged that he "killed some Muslims." Unless, in Der Drumpfenfuhrer's AmeriKKKa, killing Muslims is now a public service. I've noticed that President Pussy Grabber hasn't said one goddamned word about this. It's become a trend--ignore the anti-Muslim hate crimes, hype the non-existent "acts of terror" perpetrated by "Islamic Radicals" like The Bowling Green Massacre & the Horror in Sweden.
