In Kansas, a white man who is accused of opening fire on two Indian men last week, killing one, appeared in court on Monday via video link on charges of first-degree murder and first-degree attempted murder. Adam Purinton is accused of killing Srinivas Kuchibhotla and wounding Alok Madasani last Wednesday after he reportedly yelled “Get out of my country” and then opened fire. New reports suggest Purinton believed the two Indian men were Iranian. A bartender at an Applebee’s where Purinton went after the shooting told a 911 dispatcher that Purinton said he “shot and killed two Iranian people.” Authorities have not yet said whether they are investigating the murder as a hate crime.
