Adam Purinton, the suspect in a February shooting at an Olathe, Kansas, bar, now faces federal hate crime charges, the Justice Department announced Friday.
A grand jury indicted Purinton, 52, for shooting and killing Srinivas Kuchibhotla due to his race, color, religion, and national origin.
He was also charged with the attempted murder of Alok Madasani for the same reasons.

Kevin Upshur of Philadelphia inherited his mother’s neighborhood bar after she passed away. But instead of keeping it as a local watering hole, Upshur decided to transform it into a Strawberry Mansion Learning Center in order to give back to his beloved community.
Upshur’s bar is just a few blocks away from Strawberry Mansion High School, which has a 41% graduation rate (half of the national average). Having graduated from the school himself, Upshur wanted to provide resources to help students finish school. [1]
