Police say it was a long-running parking dispute.
The father of one victim thinks it was an anti-Muslim hate crime.
A triple murder Tuesday in Chapel Hill, N.C., inspired the #MuslimLivesMatter hashtag, and people used it to ask why the media does not characterize the shooter as a lone wolf Christian terrorist targeting people for their religion. If the perpetrator had been Muslim, that would have been the narrative, according to the online discussion.
But the alleged killer was not a Christian, but rather an atheist and a liberal, and an admirer of atheist Richard Dawkins, according to his Facebook postings.
Hard to fit that into a religious extremism narrative. Time will tell if it was a hate crime.
