On Aug. 7, a Kansas man was sentenced to life behind bars without the possibility for parole after he shot at two Indian men, killing one of them, according to an announcement from the Department of Justice (DOJ).

In the racially motivated attack, Adam W. Purinton killed Indian national Srinivas Kuchibhotla and shot at another man, an Indian national named Alok Madasani, in February 2017. Purinton also shot at a U.S. citizen Ian Grillot, a Kansas Resident, during an attempt to flee from the Austins Bar & Grill located in Olathe.
