Indian-origin couple shot dead in US

A couple of Indian origin was killed in the US in an apparent revenge attack by their daughter's ex-boyfriend who was eventually shot dead in a standoff with police.

Mirza Tatlic, 24, fatally shot Naren Prabhu, a Silicon Valley tech executive, and his wife at their home in San Jose, CBS San Francisco reported.

Prabhu's daughter, who lives in another state, was not present.

"The suspect had been in a dating relationship with the victims' adult daughter who was not home," San Jose Police Chief Eddie Garcia said. "The relationship ended last year. The suspect had a history of domestic violence and there was an active criminal restraining order."

Though the police is not calling it a hate crime, a number of hate crimes have taken place against Indians in the US in past few months.
