The shooting drew international attention as part of a wave of attacks nationwide against ethnic and religious minority groups following the 2016 election of US President Donald Trump, who has railed against illegal immigration.
The shooter, Adam Purinton, approached two Indian men, Srinivas Kuchibhotla and Alok Madasani, at a bar, demanding to know where they were from, calling one a terrorist and shouting, “Get out of my country!” Two other patrons escorted him out of the bar.
