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.

Don’t take your guns to town son, leave your guns at home Bill.
“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.”
He will have the next 99 years in prison to study world geography.
Alcohol and guns never produce a good result
There is a reason that it is illegal to be armed when consuming alcohol. Even in TX.
“Hey, did you hear the one about me?”
There is a reason different countries exist.
However it happened, and it 9s bad, let’s replace him with an American worker.
I ain't going to kill nobody....
Of course I ain't drunk stupid either,...............
These were not the foreigners you were looking for!
You messed up, Bigly!
This is a tragic incident.
It really bothers me when certain people do things, because it’s all you’ll hear about from the Left for the next decade.
In Minnesota, believe it or not, you can drink and carry.
However, at .04 BAC, you get a free ride in a Police car.
Well, I thought it would be the other kind of ‘Indian’...
Sad.
“There is a reason different countries exist.”
And there are reasons who lifelong prison sentences exist.
“”Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University “” I hear thats a really nice school ....:o)
His “country” is now going to be the size of a prison cell. Smart. It would seem as though someone who has been in the military would know the difference between someone from India and someone from “the Middle East”.
So there can be one for responsible engineers and one for idiot drunks?
