A man who posted anti-religious sentiments online has been arrested after three Muslim students were shot dead close to the University of North Carolina campus on Tuesday.
Craig Stephen Hicks, who describes himself as a vehement supporter of atheism, has been charged with three counts of murder after the trio were shot dead in Meadowmont around 5pm.
Dentistry student Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23, of Chapel Hill, his new wife Yusor Mohammad, 21, of Chapel Hill and her sister Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19, of Raleigh, all died.
Hicks, 46, of Chapel Hill, turned himself in 'without incident' and is currently being held in Durham County jaill. He is due to make a court appearance this morning.

He was a member of the FB group “Religious Tolerance”. That counts for something.
Hey Mods, why was this fairly important story removed from Breaking News and placed into General Chat? That makes no sense whatsoever!
My money is on none, due to the Athiesm angle.
One of my wife’s cousins who lives in Louisville KY has been sending me good material on the controversy over building a Walmart in the predominantly Black West End.
The Black community there, led by their churches and ministers, is all for it. The white Liberal elites, who would *never* go that far up Broadway are against (because, you know, Walmart ... and all that).
The racist attacks by the White Lib elites are breathtaking to read. Basically accusing the Black ministers of acting in collusion with city officials and having been bribed with walking around money by Walmart, and their flocks of being ignorant savages beholden/captive to superstition (iow, religion).
But because it’s Libs being racist, no one is saying a word about it.
We don't know either way. The 9-11 jihadists weren't terrorists either, they were just going to school to learn to be pilots.
How long before Obama denounces this as an act of terrorism against peaceful Muslims?
Guy was an atheist so it wasn't a Crusade.
MSM will bury this since 0bambi’s evil Christians are not involved.
...SO IT COULD HONESTLY BEEN SAID....A RACHEL MADDOW FAN IS KILLING MOOSSIES
lol. what a joke
Since when has the truth every stopped Obama from lying?
The guy was an atheist, most likely inspired by Sam Harris/Bill Maher and the debate with Afleck on “Real Time” last fall.
I know high level local news people in the triangle area, the atheist angle will be examined closely.

Wow. Just....wow.
I’m hearing it was a disagreement over a parking spot.
And it's not mentioned at all in HuffPost or NBC online stories. L-O-freakin'-L!
The killer was obviously influenced by the violent gun mad Christian culture in which he was raised. I suspect we are going to hear some about that Culture of Violence with Christianity at least implied.
Better screen shot that....lol ;)
Yes it is. Is is under the headline on the Huffpo front page
“Alleged Gunman Criticized Religion On Facebook... Social Media Reacts...
Comments”
I heard that this morning also.
I also heard he had harassed the couple prior to killing them.
What is interesting to me is how he drove himself to another county and voluntarily turned himself in.
These kids didn’t do anything. They were murdered. That they’re Muslims doesn’t change that.
Chapel Hill, N.C. — Chapel Hill police said Wednesday that an ongoing dispute over parking

Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, has been charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Deah
