This is the second mass shooting in 13 years by a person of Indian descent in the US.

In 2003, at the Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Biswanath Halder went on a rampage, taking hostages, killing a graduate student and wounding another and a professor.

A graduate of the university’s business school, he unsuccessfully sued a university administrator.

He was captured alive and sentenced to life after a trial.

Although it was not a mass shooting incident, in January 2016 Mainak Sarkar caused a lock-down at University of California – Los Angeles when he killed a professor there. He had also killed his wife and committed suicide.
