Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee condemns shooting of three students of Palestinian descent

The Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) has condemned the shooting of three students of Palestinian descent and said it was an outcome of "anti-Palestinian sentiment" in the country.

"We are praying for a full recovery of the victims, and will stand by to support the families in any way that is needed. Given the information collected and provided, it is clear that hate was a motivating factor in this shooting, and we call on law enforcement to investigate it as such," the group said in a statement.

"The surge in anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian sentiment we are experiencing is unprecedented, and this is another example of that hate turning violent."
