A man accused of murdering a motel security guard and gunning down three white men in a racially motivated Fresno, California shooting spree was ordered to undergo a psychiatric exam on Friday after entering a courtroom yelling "let black people go!" The Fresno Bee newspaper reported that Muhammad, who was shackled and wearing a yellow jail jumpsuit, entered the courtroom shouting: "Let black people go!" Prosecutors have not yet filed charges against Muhammad in connection with the shooting rampage, in which he is accused of shooting three white men in quick succession in downtown Fresno on Tuesday. Although Muhammad shouted "Allu Akhbar" as he was taken into custody following the shooting, Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer has said the case did not appear to be an act of terrorism. Fresno is an agricultural hub in California's central valley, about 170 miles (275 km) southeast of San Francisco.
