President Barack Obama described the case as "brutal andoutrageous," after Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan criticized himfor his initial silence about the incident.
"No one in the United States of America should ever be targetedbecause of who they are, what they look like, or how they worship,"Obama said in a statement on Friday.
Deah Shaddy Barakat, his wife Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha and hersister Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha were found dead in their home onTuesday in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. One of their neighbors, amiddle-aged white man, was later arrested and charged with threecounts of first-degree murder.
