Nine people were shot dead by a white gunman during a bible study class at a historic African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina. This attack at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church is being viewed as a hate crime. The church's pastor, state Senator Clementa Pinckney, is one of the shooting victims.  21 year old Dylann Roof was arrested as a suspect about 245 miles away in Shelby North Carolina.
