On the night of January 17, 1987, three men were killed and two more were seriously wounded in a mass shooting at the Shelby III Bookstore in Shelby, North Carolina.

In November 1987, Douglas Lawrence Sheets and Robert Eugene Jackson, two followers of white supremacist leader Frazier Glenn Miller Jr., were indicted for the murders after Miller claimed the two had told him they committed the shooting. Sheets was tried and acquitted for the murders in 1989 and charges were dropped against Jackson after Sheets' acquittal. As of 2022, the murders are officially unsolved.
