Charleston



Few days ago, Dylann Roof shot and killed nine people inside the historical church in Charleston, South Carolina during a weekly Bible study meeting and opened fire around 9 p.m. Eight people were found shot to death at the scene, police said. Two others were transported to a hospital, where one later died. Roof was captured Thursday morning in Shelby, North Carolina. Dylann Roof was charged with nine counts of murder and one count possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime. All felony charges. Furthermore, The South Carolina and American flags fly at half-staff June 18, 2015 atop the statehouse in Columbia, South Carolina, in honor of the nine people killed in Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, as the Confederate flag flies at full-staff at the Confederate Monument. At the behest of South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, the statehouse flags will remain at half staff for nine days to honor the nine killed.
I feel that Dylann Roof is a dangerous man and action should be taken by the authorities to make sure these people don't go around killing other people. Imagine he killed family member of others and hours before the shooting, he sat together with them for a bible study meeting. Instead of shooing him away, they welcomed him with open arms. Furthermore, they forgave him after taking away lives of their loved ones. My heart goes out to the victims and their families.
