3 Muslim Students Shot Execution-Style In North Carolina
A Chapel Hill man is being held after he surrendered to police and admitted killing three Muslim students in their apartment. All three were shot in the head.
The victims, identified in an alert from UNC Chapel Hill as husband and wife Deah Barakat, 23, and Yusor Mohammad, 21, and Mohammad’s sister Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19, were shot in the head. All three were pronounced dead at the scene when police arrived shortly after 5 p.m. Eastern Time.
The shooting jarred the quiet neighborhood of condos filled with grad students where Barakat and Yusor Mohammad lived. As sirens blared, friends and family members were seen begging for details about the crime. A report in UNC’s Daily Tar Heel described one woman, believed to be Yusor Mohammad’s mother, sobbing outside the scene of the crime. A few minutes later, a father screamed, “It’s been hours! Just tell me if he’s alive,” the paper said.
Kristen Boling, a UNC student who lives in the building where the shooting occurred, told the Daily Tar Heel she had been home since 3:45 p.m. but didn’t hear or see anything until police arrived on the scene.
“It was a regular day when I got off the bus,” she said. “Now it’s chaos and confusion and they’re not telling us what’s going on.”
The victims were described as well-liked in their community. Barakat, a dental student at UNC, was a volunteer for the Miswak Foundation, which provides dental care in impoverished countries. His most recent Facebook post showed him handing out dental supplies to homeless people in downtown Durham.
Shame they kept their heads
It’s a shame you’ve kept yours so far.
So you to can both agree on one thing, its a shame.
And now the Muslims are killing each other.
I thought they were suppose to cut the heads off?
Nothing about the shooter being an atheist. A left wing nut job.
