White House condemned Indian Killing

Shocked the entire Indian-American community in the U.S.

The White House has called the Kansas shooting, in which an Indian engineer was killed in an apparent case of hate crime, “disturbing.”
The White House also condemned alleged hate crimes against the Jewish community in the country. White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters that “early reports coming from Kansas are equally disturbing.”
Srinivas Kuchibhotla was killed and Alok Madasani was injured in a shooting — a hate crime — by 51-year-old U.S. Navy veteran Adam Purinton, who screamed racial slurs and told them to “get out of my country.”
Mr. Spicer, in a briefing, asserted that there was no space for violence based on religion and ethnicity.
“From our country’s founding, we’ve been dedicated to protecting the freedom of our citizens’ rights to worship. No one in America should feel afraid to follow the religion of their choice freely and openly. The President is dedicated to preserving the originating principle of our nation,” he said.
“And while we’re at it, I don’t want to get ahead of law enforcement, but I was asked the other day about the story in Kansas, the shooting in Kansas. While the story is evolving, early reports out of Kansas are equally disturbing,” he added.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has joined the local law enforcement agencies in investigating the incident that has shocked the entire Indian-American community in the U.S.
Mr. Spicer said the President continues to be deeply disappointed and concerned by the reports of further vandalism at Jewish cemeteries.
“The cowardly destruction in Philadelphia this weekend comes on top of similar accounts from Missouri and threats made to Jewish community centers around the country. The President continues to condemn these and any other form of anti-semitic and hateful acts in the strongest terms,” he said.
