Sikh truck driver stabbed 17 times at Wyoming rest stop
A Sikh truck driver identified as Singh was stabbed 17 times from behind in a restroom at the Bitter Creek rest stop on Interstate 80 in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, early Sunday morning. Andrew Kris Bzdak, 44, was arrested in neighboring Carbon County and charged with attempted first-degree murder. Police have not determined a motive, but Sikh advocacy groups linked the attack to anti-immigrant rhetoric including a deleted DHS social media post targeting "Mr. Singh."
