Kansas city shooting of 3: the HERO's name is Ian Grillot, age 24.

This is the case of the alleged shooter who claimed he had shot two men because they were Middle Eastern. They were actually originally from India and were employed as engineers at Garmin. One of them has died.

There are two gofundme pages; one for the family of the slain engineer; and the other for the 24 year old who tried to help.

Adam Purinton was arrested after fleeing Austin's Bar and Grill, a suburban Kansas City restaurant that was packed Wednesday night when he allegedly blasted off several rounds at 7:15 p.m.

The slain victim was identified by authorities as Srinivas Kuchibhotla, an aviation engineer at technology company Garmin, originally Hyderabad, India.

Kuchibhotla's co-worker Alok Madasani, a 32-year-old whose LinkedIn page shows he also attended school in India before moving to the Kansas City area in the mid 2000s, was wounded in the shooting and remains at the hospital.

Another fundraising page for the third victim, 24-year-old Ian Grillot, said he "stood up for two people being mistreated by a man" but then "found himself in the wrong place trying to be a helping hand."
