Seattle police hunt man who shot Sikh amid hate crime fears
3 hours ago


Police in Seattle are hunting for an attacker who shot a Sikh man and told him to "go back to your own country".
The gunman approached the 39-year-old victim - US national of Indian origin - outside his house in the Kent suburb.
The pair spoke briefly before gunman shot the victim in the arm, police said. The attacker was described as white, 6ft tall (182 cm) and stocky.

The attack has prompted fresh outcry in India following a deadly gun attack on two Indians in Kansas last month.
Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj says she has spoken to the father of the man shot in Seattle, Washington, and that the victim is recovering in hospital after sustaining non life-threatening injuries.

At a news conference on Sunday, Kent police chief Ken Thomas told reporters described the attack as "a crime of opportunity".
The assailant reportedly wore a mask covering the lower half of his face.
Police have contacted the FBI and other law enforcement about the shooting, which may be treated as a hate crime.
