Kansas, US:

An engineer from Hyderabad was shot dead and another was injured on Wednesday night after a man at a bar in Kansas in US allegedly opened fire at them, yelling, "get out of my country". The injured techie was rushed to a hospital.

Adam Purinton, a 51-year-old Navy veteran, reportedly shot dead Srinivas Kuchibhotla, and injured Alok Madasani at around 7:15 p.m. on Wednesday. The accused has been arrested and charged with murder.

Purinton was reportedly drunk and continuously exclaimed racial slurs. When a bar staff told him to stop, he yelled "get out of my country" and opened fire. He reportedly referred to the duo as "Middle Eastern" while attacking them.

Mr Kuchibhotla, originally from Hyderabad, was an aviation engineer at Olathe-based technology company Garmin. He graduated from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University with a bachelor of technology degree in electrical and electronics engineering in 2005. He did his master's from the University of Texas El Paso.

Mr Kuchibhotla worked as a teaching assistant and research assistant at UTEP, then as a software engineer and senior systems engineer at Rockwell Collins prior to joining Garmin in January 2014, according to his LinkedIn profile.

There is a reason that it is illegal to be armed when consuming alcohol. Even in TX.

So if I'm drinking—and I don't happen to be Chuck Norris—I'm totally at the mercy of the nearest violent drunk?

Someone who is drinking, or has been drinking, still has a right to act in self defense.

Therefore, such laws aren't worth the paper they're written on... even in TX.

It’s humans that act irrationally. Thousands of years ago stones, thousands from now laser blasters. It will never matter.

The challenge is keeping people who are neutral on the topic of guns to stay that way...if we cannot flip them to become pro-gun.
People like us who are already pro-RKBA will remain firm. The frothing gungrabbers will be unchanged, too.
We have to keep that big segment in the middle at least gun-curious and receptive to our points.

If this isn’t a compelling reason for sensible gun control I don’t know what is. /s

(that’s what I expect their line will be)

I think indeed it IS a really nice school. Why do you say that? Nehru was a great hero and world statesman. And gave the world the Nehru jacket.

Exactly, and it bothers me some of our military folks might be affected by it. “Oh those guys come back and are a real threat to us all.” Bull stuff.

I wouldn't blame the alcohol. The guy was probably stupid to begin with. I've seen people online go around and accuse turban-wearing Sikh's of being Middle Eastern Muslims.

Right, and the red dot on the forehead is the mark of Satan. /s

Drinking and probably a heavy smoker, he looks pretty worn out;

The link says Purington himself was wearing a bandana it sounds like.

This is a tragic incident.

It is a damnable sin and horrendous crime.

I agree with you.

I addressed it that way because of the number of direction it will split off into each of them bad.
