Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23, his wife Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, 21, and her sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19, were shot and killed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, on Tuesday afternoon.
A 46-year-old man, Craig Stephen Hicks, who had posted anti-religious messages as well as images of a gun on Facebook in recent weeks, has been arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree murder.
