Garmin 'Devastated' After Shooting of 2 of Its Engineers in Possible Hate Crime

In a Facebook post Friday, Garmin said it's “devastated by ‘the senseless tragedy that took the life of one of our associates and friends, Srinivas Kuchibhotla, and injured another, Alok Madasani.’” The two Garmin engineers, both 32 and originally from India, were shot Wednesday in a bar near Garmin’s U.S. headquarters in Olathe, Kansas, in what authorities are calling a possible hate crime. Alleged gunman Adam Purinton reportedly told the Garmin engineers to “get out of my country” before shooting the men, along with Ian Grillot, who was injured when he intervened, reported The Kansas City Star. It said Purinton was charged with first-degree murder in the death of Kuchibhotla and with two counts of attempted first-degree murder in the shootings of Madasani and Grillot. Madasani was released from the hospital Thursday.
