About it writes The Times of India.
Purington shot at a group of Indian immigrants shouting “Get out of my country!” As a result, a 32-year-old engineer from Hyderabad, India was killed, and two of his colleagues were hospitalized with injuries.
The next morning, Purington was detained and charged with murder. The city's police chief called the incident a "tragic and senseless act of violence."
The publication notes that Purington often racially insulted Indians who came to the bar. And an employee of another bar where the shooter was hiding said that the killer told him how he killed two visitors from the Middle East. The veteran could have confused Indians with Arabs.
