Srinivas Kuchibhotla Murder Case

A White House spokeswoman has condemned the shooting of two Indian men in Kansas over the weekend, telling reporters the incident appears to be "An act of racially motivated hatred."

"I want to reiterate the President condemns these or any other racially or religiously motivated attacks in the strongest terms. They have no place in our country," said White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders.

The comments are the most direct the White House has been on the shooting, which killed Srinivas Kuchibhotla, a 32-year old employee at GPS company Garmin, and left Alok Madasani, 32, and Ian Grillot, 24, in the hospital.

A man who was shot while attempting to intervene in the attack has called on President Donald Trump to address the shooting in his speech to Congress tonight.

"I would like to hear him address it because it is a very sensitive subject right now," Ian Grillot, 24, told CNN. "I think it should be addressed because there's a lot of people in mourning," he continued. "It's just a very sad subject." Ref. CNN.
