A Kansas man has pleaded guilty to killing a tech worker from India and injuring two others at a pub last year.
Adam Purinton, 52, shot Srinivas Kuchibhotla and Alok Madasani at Austin's Bar and Grill in Olathe in February 2017.
Witnesses said Purinton opened fire with a handgun after shouting: "Get out of my country!"
Mr Kuchibhotla died and Mr Madasani was injured. Bystander Ian Grillot was shot and injured as he tried to intervene.
Mr Kuchibhotla and Mr Madasani, both Indian nationals, were working as engineers at tech firm Garmin.
After the attack, the gunman drove away before stopping at a restaurant in Missouri to tell a staff member he had just shot two Iranians.
Purinton, who is white, waived his right to a jury trial in state court on Tuesday.
He admitted one count of premeditated first-degree murder in Mr Kuchibhotla's death.
Appearing in Johnson County District Court, he also pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted premeditated first-degree murder in the shootings of Mr Madasani and Mr Grillot.
