A gunman fired at a Sikh person in Washington state on Friday, allegedly telling him, “Go back to your own country,” prompting local authorities to reach out to federal agents as they continue to search for a suspect.
On Friday around 8 p.m. local time, a 39-year-old Sikh man was doing work on his car on his driveway in Kent, Washington, when a man he described as white and stocky approached him, according to the Seattle Times.
The victim reportedly told police that the two men became involved in an altercation, during which his attacker made comments including, “Go back to your own country.”
Speaking at a press conference, a Kent police spokesperson announced that the man who was shot did not suffer life-threatening injuries.
“I can tell you right now we’re early on in our investigation. The shot resulted in non-life-threatening injuries, however we are treating this as a very serious incident,” the spokesperson said.
Kent police have reached out to the FBI and other local agencies to assist in the investigation, the Seattle Times reported.
BuzzFeed News has contacted the Kent Police Department for more information.
