As of Thursday morning, police are still looking for the suspect in a tragic shooting at Emanuel AME Church in Charleson, SC that claimed the lives of 9 people including the pastor Rev. Clementa Pinckney.
The suspect, a clean-shaven white male in his early 20s with either light brown or sandy blonde hair, has not yet been apprehended, but police have released images of him and are urging anyone who can help to please come forward with any information. He was wearing a very distinctive sweatshirt with markings.
This is an unfathomable and an unspeakable act by somebody filled with hate and with a deranged mind
this person is dangerous, Mayor Joe Riley Jr. said at an early morning news conference. We need every tip we can get to bring this person into custody.

Sylvia Johnson, the cousin of Rev. Pinckney is a member of the church and spoke to one of the survivors of the tragedy. At the conclusion of the Bible study, from what I understand, they just start hearing loud noises ringing out
and he had already wounded, the suspect already wounded a couple of individuals, Johnson said to WIS-TV.
A survivor told Johnson that the shooter reloaded five different times and that her son was trying to talk him out of doing the act of killing people. But he wouldnt listen, according to the eyewitness.
You rape our women and youre taking over our country. And you have to go, Johnson said the survivor told her.

(1,151 posts)This person has to be mentally ill. We have an epidemic of mental illness in our country. Behind all of our other problems, is the very real large population of mentally unstable people. This is the reason we need gun restrictions such as background checks and registration.
I mean if it turns out this guy is sane then he is a monster. If the right wing media created yet another monster then we should maybe start holding them accountable. This is worse than shocking.
