[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

A family of three young Muslims have been shot dead in their home in a quiet neighbourhood of North Carolina in the US.

Police have named the victims as 23-year-old Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23, his wife Yusor Mohammad, 21, and her sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19.

Officers were called to reports of gunshots at 5.11pm at an apartment block largely housing academics and young professionals on Summerwalk Circle in Chapel Hill.

The victims were found shot dead at the scene, while some residents described not even being aware there was an incident until police arrived.

A 46-year-old man, named by police as Craig Stephen Hicks, has been arrested on suspicion of three counts of first-degree murder.

The shooting has been met with an outpouring of anger on social media, where people posting new pictures of the victims studying and playing basketball claimed they had been murdered execution style.

Sounds like a senseless death...Muslim victims or otherwise...that shouldn't matter hopefully.

Their being Muslim appears to have been the motive for the murder.

The guy they arrested is apparently an anti-theist.

Very well may have been the motive, regardless, it's an egregious criminal act no?

Word. It only matters that their Muslims when they're the perps not when they're the victims.

I didn't write the article but I would say that goes without saying.

When we had the 911 terrorist acts, we had a few people who worked at 7-11's and other convenience stores get shot in retaliation by mistake

Wasn't a good time to be from India/Pakistan that week.....

Mistake is an unfortunate choice of words.

Obviously.

That is a valid point.

When will we start profiling white men to the point where we are suspicious of all of them?

Why the wait?

I've been good, you? Hopefully causing trouble for the few people still left around here?

No doubt there are a few people here who ought to be subjects of a police stakeout.

We have to finish with the blacks and Muslims first, then we will persecute perverted old men.

I'm doing good too. There aren't many people left here, that's for sure. I think it's G's fault.
