Charleston police searching for white male suspect in early 20s.A white man walked into a historic African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina, and opened fire during a Bible study class, killing nine people Wednesday evening.
The
suspect was still at large early Thursday morning. And the shooting at
the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, the oldest AME church in
the South, is being investigated as a hate crime.
"The only reason someone would walk into a church and shoot people that were praying is hate," said Charleston Mayor Joe Riley.
