Charleston police Chief Greg Mullen said that, “It is unfathomable that somebody would walk into a church when people are having a prayer meeting and take their lives”.
The suspect left one lady’s life by saying that, “I am leaving you so that you could tell people what happened there”.
Unfortunately, the gunman is still at large, with army and law enforcement officers combed the whole area.
People all across the globe came forward to show solidarity with the victims saying that this shooting case is the crude example of white supremacy:
The #CharlestonShooting is a horrific act of terrorism and those denying it are directly contributing to a culture of white supremacy.
