Another U.S. military veteran carried out a public shooting on Wednesday night. Seems that there have been a lot of veterans over the last couple of years involved in shooting police, shooting crowds of people, shooting innocent people minding their own business.
This is Navy veteran Adam Purinton, 51.

Police say Purinton shot and killed Srinivas Kuchibhotla, an engineer at Garmin, and wounded Kuchibhotla's colleague Alok Madasani at Austin's Bar and Grill in Olathe, Kansas.
He then fired at a third man, identified as local Ian Grillot, who had tried to intervene.
At least one witness said Purinton yelled 'get out of my country' and claimed he heard him screaming racial slurs before opening fire in the crowded sports bar where patrons were watching the University of Kansas-TCU basketball game.
Purington apparently thought Kuchibhotla and Madasani were Middle Eastern, although in reality both men were of Indian decent. He fled after the shootings.
Purinton was taken into custody just after midnight on Thursday morning at an Applebee's about 70 miles to the southeast in Clinton, Missouri, authorities said.
Assistant Clinton Police Chief Sonny Lynch said an Applebee's bartender summoned police to the bar where the man was drinking because he said he'd been involved in a shooting.
