A manhunt is underway in Charleston, South Carolina as authorities are seeking a young, white male in connection to a shooting that left nine dead at a historically black church. Police Chief Gregory Mullen said, “I do believe this was a hate crime”.
The terrorist, walked into Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church around 9 p.m. Wednesday night. Church goers were there for a prayer meeting when the gunman opened fired. Eight died on the scene with one dying on the way to the hospital. Among the dead is Clementa Pinckney, a South Carolina state senator and senior pastor of the church. Pinckney campaigned for the use of body cameras on police officers.
The murderer is said to still be at large and is armed and dangerous and left the scene in a four door black sedan.
When does it end? The open season on black lives is heart wrenching. The act of this scumbag was terrorism plain and simple. He chose who he shot, how many and the location and all equates to some hate filled and misguided agenda. Remember South Carolina has capital punishment and an act this egregious and sickening is more than deserving of the his life.
