The man who allegedly shot and killed three Muslim students in Chapel Hill, North Carolina is facing three counts of first degree murder.

Craig Hicks is being indicted by a grand jury for the murder that police say was sparked by a parking dispute.

The University of North Carolina students lived next door to Hicks and reports say they may have had run-ins with him in the past.

Meanwhile the Department of Justice is investigating wether the incident can be considered a hate crime.
