Garmin engineer shot and killed in Kansas by man who allegedly yelled ‘get out of my country’

A Kansas man was charged today after the fatal shooting of a Garmin engineer at a bar Wednesday night, police said.
The suspect in the shooting, Adam Purinton, was drinking at the bar in Olathe, Kansas, at about 7:15PM that night, the Kansas City Star reported. A witness said he yelled “get out of my country” to two of the victims, reportedly saying the men, believed to originally be from India, were “Middle Eastern.”
At a press conference, a local prosecutor said Purinton has been charged with one count of premeditated first degree murder, and two counts of attempted premeditated first degree murder. He is awaiting extradition to Kansas from Missouri, according to officials. An FBI official said the agency is investigating with local police. It’s unclear for now if Purinton will be charged with a federal hate crime. He is under a $2 million bond.
Srinivas Kuchibhotla, an engineer at Garmin, was killed. Another victim injured in the shooting, Alok Madasani, also worked at Garmin. A third man, Ian Grillot, was also injured. Witnesses told the Star that Grillot was attempting to help the two other men after they were confronted. Officials said Madasani and Grillot have been treated and are in stable condition.
Law enforcement officials said they were still in the early stages of investigating the crime, and could provide few details to confirm witness reports of the incident.
Police found Purinton 80 miles away, five hours later, at a Clinton, Missouri Applebee’s. He allegedly told the bartender there about the shooting, according to the Star.
“We’re saddened that two Garmin associates were involved in last night’s incident, and we express our condolences to the family and friends of our co-workers involved,” the company said in a statement to the paper. “Garmin will have grievance counselors on-site and available for its associates today and tomorrow.”
Adam Hamilton, a pastor in the nearby community of Leawood, told The Verge that he feels “there is a fear of the other that has been exacerbated during the election.”
He went on to note that Garmin is a huge source of pride in the area. In 2015, Garmin won approval from the Olathe City Council to expand its headquarters in hopes of doubling its 2,700 employee headcount. Hamilton said that some engineers employed at Garmin were part of the changing face of the community.
“The diversity is increasing. It’s still small but it’s growing. A small contingent in my congregation are Indian. So I want people in our church to think about what things must be like for them right now. And to let them know that we are thinking of them.”

Call it what it is people: Radical Trumper terrorism
white terrorism, treated by you right assholes as lone wolf, crazy, nothing more to see here, but a black shooting cops is a sane criminal, a soldier in the coordinated War on Cops proving once again and without doubt rightwingnut assholes are racists, too less to own the fact
but NRA and its Repug s just allowed guns in the hands of crazies
"allegedly"
FAKE NEWS
Making America Great Again
$2 million bond, Cubster... can you imagine how many The Great Ones at the Chuckbox?
Sounds like this guy was an inbred racist idiot and deserves what he gets but blaming it on Trump is Boutons level stupid.
In fairness, it's no more stupid than blaming Black Lives Matter riots and blacks assassinating cops on Obama which some tried to do.
It's all assholes being assholes.

^ "alternative facts"?
This is much more important than the 8 year old girl killed in a driveby shooting in Houston.
great point, people get shot and killed every day.
not at all a coincidence that you point this out in this particular thread i am sure.
Yep, I've lived in Houston for a few years now and random black-on-black violence is about as common as the sun rising every morning. Every morning I could google "Houston shooting" and there will be 2-3 articles that pop up usually involving phrases like "suspect fled away in a stolen Cadillac from MLK Blvd" or something alone those lines. It's just so commonplace, that we expect it. This one was my favorite: A shooting on MLK Day, on MLK blvd, after a party honoring the civil rights icon

But, please. Let's continue to ignore the elephant in the room and ask "What is wrong with people??" when it's really the same race doing it over and over with very few exceptions. And then when those exceptions happen, it's all over CNN, Washington Post, Jew York Times, etc.
White americans are the most insecure people I've ever seen, tbh
This is a tragedy though...very sad
There wasn't one about her. I'm sure her family appreciates your concern.
theres a pretty clear precedent of racial or religious motivated killings being more newsworthy, and a grand tradition of selectively blaming large groups of people for that killing if it validates our fears.
im sad that girl was killed. i bet it the guy who did it had no business owning a gun. but youd probably prefer to talk about his blackness.
would you care to take a guess on which race commits the majority of violent crime in the US?
When you consistently notice a certain pattern of a particular race committing practically all of the murders/homicides yet claiming only a small portion of the overall population should the alarm bells not go off? Yet, for some reason, we're either not allowed to talk about it or we have to go to absurd lengths of mental backflips to justify it.
If there was a huge mosquito problem in your area, where their bites killed one or two people a day, you wouldn't rush out and buy spider aerosol spray because every few months a black widow is reported to have sent somebody to the hospital would you?
well whats your solution?
lol what a brilliant metaphor. please continue to explore this.
maybe write a book. richard spencer would love it. maybe youd even get to meet him.
extermination, obviously.
great rebuttal as always
you seem like a very intelligent person
rebutting standard white supremacist talking points is like arguing with someone who thinks the moon landing was faked.
i've already argued with dozens of idiots who think like you do. it got old having the same argument with so many different people, so i moved on to just laughing at people like you. sorry to disappoint.
What's your solution to lowering black crime?
Ofcourse, the number of Black crime would be higher. They're socioeconomically disadvantaged. Being Poor leads to Crimes..
South America has the highest crime rates for that reason alone.
You'd have to be a legit re to not see that trend.
