A US Navy veteran Adam Purinton, 51, has been arrested from a bar in an Applebee's in Clinton, Missouri. After committing the crime he reportedly called up one of his friends and told him that he had just shot 'Middle Eastern' men and needed a place to hide.
The accused had an altercation with Srinivas and his friends inside the bar’s lounge which later spilled out into the parking lot. Situation turned worsens after he pulled out his gun and killed him and left two others seriously injured.
