    What we know

    Relatives have identified the three victims as Hisham Awartani, Kinnan Abdalhamid and Tahseen Ahmed. Awartani is a student at Brown University, Abdalhamid is a student at Haverford College, and Ahmed is a student at Trinity College.

    Two of the victims were wearing keffiyehs, police said, and they were speaking Arabic, according to the Arab American Anti-Discrimination Committee.

    The three victims were graduates of the Ramallah Friends School in the West Bank. Burlington police said two of the three victims are U.S. citizens and the third is a legal resident.

    Police described the shooter as a white man with a handgun who didn’t say a word before he fired at least four times.

    The war between Israel and Hamas has sparked heated protests and fiery rhetoric at college campuses. Jewish and Muslim students have been forced to confront violent threats.

    These three people should obviously have been carrying guns to protect themselves from this exact scenario! Because taking guns away from the psychopath is AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION!
