Eight People Shot in Black Church in Charleston, South Carolina

That's a pretty distinctive haircut in that surveillance photo and clear image. Someone knows him.

This is a wildly insensitive and inappropriate comment at this time. Could you have at least thought for a second about the victims, their families and the community before posting??!?

pp here. I disagree. I believe an interjection like this is 100% appropriate anytime an incident like this happens. The NRA needs to be held to account for its despicable positions and advocacy. My thoughts were 100% with the victims, family, and community when I posted it. How dare you suggest otherwise.

An unarmed black man in South Carolina can get killed for having a busted taillight but I got $5 says they bring this dude in without a scratch.

DH and I were just talking about this. I'm sure you are correct.

This is awful. Schools and church should always be safe places. I hope they get him alive.

Ban guns all you want, that's just taking them away from licensed owners. That means criminals will be the only one left with guns, then what Einstein!?

Then we live in a country with thousands of less gun deaths per year. You can't seriously have looked at the data and come to the conclusion that citizens, or even police, carrying guns makes us safer. You have to be willfully ignorant to draw that conclusion.

+1

The NRA is a domestic terrorism organization, as far as I'm concerned, and they play a role each and every time things like this happen.

So awful, so tragic, and so preventable.

Oh...I got another $5 says upon capture he'll be called all kinds of crazies and psychos and mentally disturbed adjectives but you won't hear any mention of the word thug or criminal or any other inherently violent adjective to describe him nor will he be paraded throughout the media as typifying the entire white race - he'll be regarded as an anomaly.

I too hope that they are able to bring him in alive, but I kind of doubt they will. Most of these shootings seem to end in the shooter's death. I would like to see him try to explain this, and live with himself.

I fully agree with you here. Apparently he let one woman live and told her that she has to tell the story. I do not think he's crazy, like Gifford's shooter. I think he was after Pinckney in particular

I'm sure they already know who he is. That's a good image. I do hope that he's wearing a wig - that haircut is atrocious.

So tired of gun advocates saying that we shouldn't talk about guns when there is a gun tragedy. A man with a gun caused these deaths. It is absolutely appropriate to talk about guns right now.

Pretty sure that the families aren't reading DCUM, so you stop clutching your pearls about them.

I don't think this is true. Gifford's shooter WAS 'crazy' - as evidenced by those who had interacted with him, and by his patterns of stalking, etc. Ditto the Aurora shooter. This man is not 'crazy' in that sense, nor will he be portrayed as such. It's clear from police statements so far that this man is a sociopath.

I heard in a news report that the police believe the shooter was wearing a hair net.
I agree that because the photo is so clear, they will have him identified quickly.
If he doesn’t kill himself, I believe that he will be taken down in a shoot out.
Very, very sad.

As someone who lives outside of Chas. and works with many of its residents, I'm sickened by those of you trying to exploit this tragedy by rehashing your senseless talking points. Have a soul!

Why should he be? The entire white race does not go around shooting up churches-this guy is an anomaaly-a crazy, gun toting, sociopathic anomaly!

Unbelievable! I just saw this on the news. I hope they catch the perpetrator soon!
