No evidence whatsoever this has anything to do with them being Muslim. But it makes a better headline and helps narrative.
After as many as 18 bullets were fired into his fence and home early Tuesday, wounding his wife, an eastern Mecklenburg County man said he hopes the gunmen didn’t target them because the family is Muslim.
“We don’t know if it was a random shooting” or that the family was targeted because of their faith, the homeowner told news reporters and photographers outside the home in the 7800 block of Shiny Meadow Lane. “We hope it’s not the second case.”
Shiny Meadow Lane is off Interstate 485 near Robinson Church Road.
Police released few details about the shooting, saying only that they believe it was random. They urged anyone with information about the shooting to call 911.
