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.

Which one could argue is a form of terrorism (depending on the dentist).
But I hear you, other than they were members of a cult I abhor, these seem like three fine young people who happened to be born into the cult (I.e., I doubt they were Koranimals).
Atheists killing Satanists.
I'm glad you got it, I think some people thought I was serious.
Yup. Random shootings of folks do occur.
Nonsense. EVERY dentist I have met is a straight-up terrorist.
Coming at your sensitive toof nerves with a high speed drill, I mean, DAMN dude.
And Islam is not a religion, it's a murderous Theology which has declared War
on the world to take it over. There are no Damn innocent Muslims!
A Poisonous snake that crawls slow like a slug will still kill you in your sleep.
Couldn’t help myself, I went to DU to see the comments. The invalid assumptions/false conclusions there are amazing - I saw some themes in the comments:
1. Blame it on Fox News (at least a couple of these)
2. The Media doesn’t care - comparing to Eve Carson. I live in the area, the media is talking about nothing else right now
3. Terrorist act - no evidence of this, the latest report is actually saying there had been a prior dispute over parking
Amazing how people can jump to conclusions and work themselves up with hatred based on their pre-suppositions about a situation. Once the real news comes out, they probably won’t even be paying attention anymore
I even saw a quote from David Price, a local US Congressman, referencing bigotry and hatred as a potential factor. You would think that someone in that position would wait for the facts to play out instead of inflaming the situation - feeding the nut cases like those at DU
If the situation were reversed, i.e a 46 year old Muslim man killed 3 college aged kids in a “parking dispute” you would certainly bet all Muslims would be lumped together and the worst of the worst motives would be discussed.
Killing 3 people execution style over a “parking dispute” is complete nonsense.
The 3 victims really needed to have taken advantage of their 2nd amendment rights
Remember Hamas - there are the enemy and have targeted to the US on countless occasions. Try not to get wrapped up in the final act of emotion - and look at the the whole picture before jumping down my throat. He he gave dental care to kids in Palestine - he gave it to their fighters as well!
It has been reported, and he was heading back to Turkey this summer to provide dental care to refugees fleeing from ISIS
None of that justifies cold blooded murder here in the U.S.
See Post 71 - pretty interesting connection...to Palestine of all places...and the Arab News source is calling it a terrorist act on the moslems...I guess they know when one occurs - they are experts at it!
Be safe - !
Providing emergency dental care to children is giving aid and comfort to the enemy?!?
No - I didn’t say that is was justified at all. Such operations though could stem far away and might be something altogether beyond some nut case who thought he was better and decided to take the lives of these 3.
He is in no position to do so - legally or universally. Look at the whole Sweden affair with that wack job over there dressing up as a police officer — there are wide connections to a whole host or personalities and groups trying to maneuver and everyday people caught the bad end of it.
These incidents tend to involve more than just randomness is all I’m saying...
No, it doesn't. We need to do to him what the hajis should be doing to their own murderers. Nothing like leading by example!
never been over there have you....?
That’s a cover - he might be treating kids - but I GUARANTEE he is also treating Hamas fighters/terrorist while there as well...so, yes - AID AND COMFORT!
Please join the rest of the world who see things for what they are - and notice when they are being lied to - the press cannot be trusted at all....these stories are written for one purpose only. Apparently you see that - or you wouldn’t be on Free Republic.
Thanks for the info!
Sorry, Bub, no sale. It’s murder and if all of Islam were on the march, then the world would be aflame and it’s not.
