"We join Americans across the country in praying for their full recovery, and we send our deepest condolences to their families," Biden said in a statement. "While we are waiting for more facts, we know this: There is absolutely no place for violence or hate in America. Period. No person should worry about being shot at while going about their daily lives. And far too many Americans know a family member injured or killed as a result of gun violence. We cannot and we will not accept that."
Jason J. Eaton, 48, made a video appearance Monday in court as a not guilty plea was entered, according to The Associated Press. Bail had not been set.
Police said they are still investigating what motivated the shooting and have not declared it a hate crime, but the police said that the three men were speaking a mixture of English and Arabic at the time of the shooting and that two of them were wearing traditional keffiyeh scarves. The American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee said they have reason "to believe that the shooting was motivated by the three victims being Arab."
