OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — The man jailed following an apparently racially motivated Kansas bar shooting was wearing a safety smock meant to keep him from harming himself during his first court appearance.

Adam Purinton is charged with murder and attempted murder in connection with the Feb. 22 attack in Olathe, Kansas, that killed one Indian man, wounded another and hospitalized a stranger who tried to intervene.

A public defender on Monday waived a formal reading of the charges against Purinton, who was seen in the courtroom through closed-circuit television wearing a green smock.

A Johnson County Sheriff’s Department spokesman, Master Deputy Rick Howell, says suspects who make statements during initial jail processing that could suggest they might harm themselves are required to wear the smocks until mental health professions say otherwise.

Howell would not disclose what Purinton said at the time he was being processed or whether he is considered a suicide risk.

The man jailed following an apparently racially motivated bar shooting last week waived a formal reading of the charges Monday and was appointed a public defender.

Adam Purinton, 51, of Olathe, appeared by closed-circuit TV before a Johnson County District Court judge on charges of first-degree murder and first-degree attempted murder. According to witnesses, Purinton yelled “get out of my country” at two 32-year-old Indian men, Srinivas Kuchibhotla and Alok Madasani, before he opened fire at Austin’s Bar and Grill in the Kansas City suburb on Wednesday evening.

Kuchibhotla was killed and Madasani injured. A third patron, Ian Grillot, 24, was wounded when he tried to intervene.

Public defender Michael McCulloch declined to comment. Purinton’s next court appearance is set for March 9.

A Missouri bartender told a 911 dispatcher that a patron said he killed “two Iranian people” just hours after a shooting 70 miles away at a suburban Kansas City bar left one Indian man dead and another hurt.

In a recording of the 911 call made early Thursday, the bartender at the Applebee’s in Clinton, Missouri, is heard saying the man made her promise she wouldn’t call police.

Fifty-one-year-old Adam Purinton was arrested soon afterward. He’s charged with murder and attempted murder in the shooting in Olathe, Kansas, that some witnesses said was racially motivated.

The bartender tells the dispatcher that the man initially said the shootings occurred at a gas station, not a bar.

She says the man asked if he can stay with her and her husband.
