The FBI has identified the shooting suspect who allegedly opened fire on an African American church in Charleston, South Carolina on Wednesday night, killing 9 people.
The alleged shooter is Dylann Storm Roof, a 21-year-old white male from the Columbia area, according to local news station WISTV. A manhunt is still underway to find him.
Roof is out on bond for charges related to drugs and trespassing, according to an editor for The Post and Courier. A mug shot for his trespassing arrest can be viewed here.
The alleged shooter reportedly said, “I have to do it. You rape our women and you’re taking over our country. And you have to go,” according to a witness interviewed by NBC News.



UPDATE JUN 18, 2015 10:29 AM
Reuters reports that the uncle of the 21-year-old suspect was given a gun for his birthday, a .45-caliber pistol. The uncle, Carson Cowles, came forward when he recognized the photo police distributed and described his nephew as "quiet and soft-spoken."

Do you think it'll matter after committing mass murder, including a public official, in a church? I think being branded a hate crime is the least of his worries. Hopefully the shooter saved everyone some time and took care of it himself.

Not the point. In my opinion it was immediately denounced as a "hate crime" because of the race of the criminal/victims. It seems it takes days or weeks to announce an obvious act of terror as that even though the perpetrator was yelling "Allah ackbar", and rarely do crimes committed by blacks against whites get labeled as hate crimes.

Yes, racism is alive and well. And, yes, in my opinion, it is fueled by the leftist mass media and others on the left. It's also fueled by so-called black leaders, like Sharpton, Jackson and Obama. I believe racism by blacks towards white is far more prevalent these days than the other way around. Just my opinion from what I see in the "news".

I also agree with Skip. The recent mass killings (even though they don't meet the strict definition) in Chicago, Baltimore and other inner city areas of the country of blacks, by blacks, will largely be ignored because it doesn't fit the leftist racism agenda.

Prayers for all the victims. Hopefully Dylann saves us all some time and takes himself out.

I don't know, you really think this will cause another panic? I don't think it will, sandy hook set the new standard and the bar was set high for these crazies.

It is sad to hear of this news and prayers go out to the families, yet another senseless act of violence in a gun free zone
