The Chapel Hill shooting: White male atheist murders three Muslim students

46-year-old Craig Stephen Hicks has been arrested and charged.

Three Muslim students have been shot dead in what appears to be a racially motivated attack by a self-described “anti-theist”. 

The victims, 23-year-old Deah Shaddy Barakat, his 21-year-old wife, Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, and her sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19, were murdered at their home last night in Chapel Hill, a quiet town in North Carolina. Their neighbour, Craig Stephen Hicks, has been arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree murder, after reportedly handing himself in to police.
