Shooter said 'get out of my country' before shooting.

<snip>
Last night, a 51-year old man sitting in a bar shot three Middle Eastern men, killing one and injuring two, before he went to another bar, sat down, and told the bartender he'd just shot a couple of guys.

According to the Kansas City Star, at least one witness heard him shouting for his victims to "get out of this country" before he shot them, apparently thinking they were Muslims.

They were not. Two of them were from India, and worked at the nearby Garmin facility.

Two of the shooting victims were employees of the Aviation Systems Engineering team at Garmin, headquartered in Olathe.

In an email to employees, Garmin officials identified the fatal victim as employee Srinivas Kuchibhotla. Alok Madasani was injured, the email said.

These men weren't even Middle Easterners. They are/were from India.
Make America Great Again - kill the engineers - ignorance is bliss.

Trump has made these cretins feel like they now have a license to abuse and even kill minorities. If they aren't dealt with harshly, this will continue to happen. I am so sorry for the victims and their families.

7. Some geographical ignorance in the article, too: India is not in the Middle East.
