A Chapel Hill, North Carolina, man was charged with first-degree murder in the shooting of three Muslim college students after an argument about parking, violence that police said they’re investigating as a possible hate crime.

Authorities said a long-running dispute in a condominium complex foreshadowed the murders. The father of two of the slain said their Islamic beliefs were the motivation for the killings, the News & Observer of Raleigh reported.

Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, was arrested in the shootings of Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23, Yusor Abu-Salha, 21, who was his wife of less than two months, and her sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19, according to police. Barakat was a doctoral student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s School of Dentistry. The sisters were students at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) away.

Police found the victims dead in their condominium unit after responding to a report of gunshots at 5:11 p.m. Tuesday.

“Our preliminary investigation indicates that the crime was motivated by an ongoing neighbor dispute over parking,” police spokesman Joshua Mecimore said in a statement.

“We understand the concerns about the possibility that this was hate-motivated and we will exhaust every lead to determine if that is the case,” he said.

Crimes motivated by bias or ethnic intimidation can merit harsher punishments, under North Carolina law.

Apparently he already confronted the neighbors a few times before.  Still, if the shooter really is the Craig Hicks from the Facebook page spouting off hatred of organized religion then I'm going to assume he's a militant Atheist.

Three young lives lost, just like-fucking-that. :/

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
Militant atheism isn't a thing. We need a proper name for people who have that extra moral matrix of "I should kill religious people for being religious", but I don't think anti-theism would cut it.

Nonetheless, we still need to rule out whether the guy is seriously mentally ill (like, Schizophrenia or Autism) and determine whether his motives in this specific case were anti-religious. A tragedy, of course, nonetheless.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

Sorry, I don't follow the "Every Muslim can be an ISIS fighter" mentality.

Also, good to know you think three young people being murders is nothing.

He didn't say that he didn't care they died, just that the media is sensationalizing it by insinuating they were targeted and killed because of their beliefs, when it was likely a crazy guy snapping over a parking spot argument.

Probably, and I should have found another source besides Bloomberg.   However I was short on time and that was the article someone sent me.
