9 dead in ‘hate crime’ shooting at historic African American church in Charleston - The Washington Post
Mullen noted at a 7 a.m. media briefing that authorities do not know where suspect is.
“This person is dangerous,” said Charleston Mayor Joseph Riley (D). “We need every tip we can get to bring this person into custody as soon as possible, and of course will make sure that he pays the price for this horrible act.”
At a nearby Embassy Suites, which was serving as an informal headquarters for church members, people began sobbing and screaming as they learned details about what had happened. “It was a heartbreaking scene I have never witnessed in my life before,” said Reily, the city’s longtime mayor.
Six females and three males were killed, police said.
