In another hate crime, a 26-year-old Indian man was allegedly shot down by two masked armed robbers on United States’ Washington state. The news was confirmed by his family on Friday that he was shot at a convenience store at a gas station.
The man has been identified as Vikram Jaryal who was working as a clerk in a store at the AM-PM Gas Station in Yakima city. According to the reports, Vikram was standing behind the counter when he was shot by two unidentified masked men.
Police said the clerk handed the suspects money, but one of the suspects fired at him. Jaryal was taken to the hospital where he later died.
“The victim was able to tell officers what happened when they arrived a few minutes later; but tragically, he died a short time later at the hospital,” police was quoted as saying by the NBC Right Now channel. Jaryal hailed from Hoshiarpur district in Punjab and had shifted to the US about a month ago, his elder brother told.
