Infectious Disease Researcher Shot and Killed in Front of Elementary School
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. --
A woman was killed after being shot outside of Mary Scruggs Elementary School in Chapel Hill on Friday.
Chahnaz Kebaier died after she was rushed to UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill. Police say she was shot multiple times just after 2 p.m. by Ali Cherfaoui outside the elementary school her child attends.
Kebaier worked as a post doctorate research associate in UNC's Pharmacology Department. She worked with a professor specializing in infectious diseases.

Emir Munoz said his wife, Maria, was leaving the school with their daughter when she saw the victim and the suspect talking in the driveway in front of the school.
“They were talking, just talking,” Munoz said. “They weren’t yelling.”
As his wife walked to her car, suddenly she heard a shot.
“She turned around and saw the lady was on the ground,” Munoz said. “After that he shot her two more times after she was on the ground.”
His frightened wife ran away with their daughter to get away from the man, he said.
A driveway circles around in front of the school, and the shooting occurred on the part of the driveway closest to the front door of the school.

After reading this, can't help but think of the weird necrotizing fasciitis cluster in Georgia near the CDC. Maybe she knew something...

Her research:
-- She was involved in research on, primarily, Leishmania... and immunology... only 1 article about MRSA... but it was her last one...

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is a dangerous pathogen that can cause necrotizing infections characterized by massive inflammatory responses and tissue destruction. Staphylococcal α-hemolysin is an essential virulence factor in severe S. aureus pneumonia. It activates the nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat containing gene family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome to induce production of interleukin-1β and programmed necrotic cell death. We sought to determine the role of α-hemolysin-mediated activation of NLRP3 in the pathogenesis of S. aureus pneumonia. We show that α-hemolysin activates the NLRP3 inflammasome during S. aureus pneumonia, inducing necrotic pulmonary injury. Moreover, Nlrp3(-/-) mice have less-severe pneumonia. Pulmonary injury induced by isolated α-hemolysin or live S. aureus is independent of interleukin-1β signaling, implicating NLRP3-induced necrosis in the pathogenesis of severe infection. This work demonstrates the exploitation of host inflammatory signaling by S. aureus and suggests the NLRP3 inflammasome as a potential target for pharmacologic interventions in severe S. aureus infections.

RE: Infectious Disease Researcher Shot and Killed in Front of Elementary School
It sounds like a Muslim ''honor killing''.
Deus lumen cordis mei
et panis orisintus animae meae
et virtus maritans mentem meam
et sinum cogitationis meae ?
Non te amabam,
et fornicabar abs te,
et fornicanti sonabat undique :
''euge, euge''.
