Shooting in Chapel Hill



Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23, and his wife, Yusor Mohammad, 21, of Chapel Hill, and her sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19, of Raleigh North Carolina.

Background one what happened:

Let's chat about this…but, we're going to do it in a slightly different way….SILENTLY?!

Questions: Was this racially/religiously motivated? Has the media responded differently than it would if victims were white and alleged gunman was Muslim? What is confusing about the story? What do you want to know more about?
