Early speculation over the shooting of three Muslim students in Chapel Hill, NC has focused on the religion of the victims, but new details are emerging that the incident might have been caused by a dispute over a parking spot at the condominium complex:

From the Washington Post:
The Chapel Hill Police Department said Wednesday morning that initial indications suggested that the issue stemmed from a parking altercation.
“Our preliminary investigation indicates that the crime was motivated by an ongoing neighbor dispute over parking,” the department said in a statement. “Hicks is cooperating with investigators and more information may be released at a later time.”
Although some aren’t buying these new details:
There's a story being spun that the #ChapelHillShooting was because of a parking spot. Let's not give that one legs.

I guess NYC must have really parked in somebody else's parking spot awful bad. Thus, 9/11. #ChapelHillShooting

Or, rather than speculating one way or another people can wait for more facts to come out?
