Adam Purinton, 51, was taken into custody at a bar in an Applebee's in Clinton, Missouri, after telling an employee he had just shot 'Middle Eastern' men and needed a place to hide.
He was arrested about five hours after police say he opened fire at Austin's Bar and Grill in Olathe, Kansas.
The deadly confrontation began unfolding inside the lounge at around 7.15pm on Wednesday and later spilled out into the parking lot.
Police say Purinton shot and killed Srinivas Kuchibhotla, an engineer at Garmin, wounded his colleague Alok Madasani.
He then fired at a third man, identified as Ian Grillot, who had tried to intervene.
At least one witness said Purtinton yelled 'get out of my country' and claimed he heard him screaming racial slurs before opening fire, according to Kansas City Star.
The 51-year-old veteran apparently thought Kuchibhotla and Madasani were Middle Eastern, although in reality both men were of Indian decent.
Kuchibhotla died at an area hospital and Alok Madasani and Ian Grillot were hospitalized, the latter suffering from wounds to his hand and shoulder.
Blood on the hands of dRump and this administration

(1,140 posts)The shooter needs to be put away forever. He is a result of pRezident dRumpf and the RTKBA (without a background check). He may be a Navy veteran, but, to me he lost that status as a result of his actions.

(24,906 posts)a Marine recruiting sergeant lived across the street from me. He said he tells recruiting prospects that they will get to "kill ragheads". He said they like to hear that.
He was arrested several months later for beating his wife. She left town, I don't know where he is now. What an asshole.

Kansas has the death penalty, which I don't believe in, but this guy is a poster boy for it.

Scary shit

(985 posts)There's harder right places than Johnson County (used to live there). But, I guess it's a volatile mix because there's more diverse people for the wingnuts to get triggered by than there would be in central Kansas or rural Wyoming or something.
A few years ago, a Nazi shot up a Jewish retirement center there, but shot only Christian people in the parking lot. Today's Mensa contestant hates Moslems and he shot Indians.

(14,374 posts)My wife and I feel very comfortable and at home in Overland Park. There is a wealth of ethnic restaurants and specialty grocery stores.
But we get a weird vibe from Olathe. There is very little diversity in food choices. We have not experienced anything off-putting there, but we have noticed a distinct absence of ethnic shops and restaurants. My wife doesn't like shopping for make up there because she can only find cosmetics for white skin. Again - we have not experienced any racial tension or hostility there, but it feels like one of the whitest places we have ever been to.

(9,261 posts)And I remember hearing how Sikhs were also getting threatened and attacked.
Both of those groups have long time bloody feuds with Islamicists. But the racist nazi pinheads in our country can't tell the difference. They don't know that if they're against 'Moslem terrorists', Hindus and Sikhs are their allies.
And they don't have to. Because the real point of their movement is that they're xenophobic, they hate everyone, 'radical' Islam terror is just an excuse. They know exactly what their leaders really want and mean, for nazi whities to attack everyone who isn't nazi whitie.
A very old Chinese man, who owned a restaurant a mile away from me, told me that his restaurant was getting threatening calls after 9/11. The righties are that stupid, and just looking for an excuse to take action on their stupid violent opinions.
