Police are searching for a gunman who opened fire and killed nine people Wednesday night during a prayer service at a historic African American church in downtown Charleston, S.C., in one of the worst attacks on a place of worship in recent memory.Not much to say about this case until we know more. If you're inclined, and I think most of you are, a prayer for the victims and their families seems in order.
At least one other person was injured in the assault.
“I do believe this is a hate crime,” Charleston Police Chief Greg Mullen said at a late night news conference, without explaining the basis for his conclusion.
Police have launched a manhunt for the gunman, described as a clean-shaven white male in his early 20s, who has sandy blond hair and a small build. Police said he was wearing a gray sweatshirt, blue jeans and Timberland boots. He is believed to be the only shooter. Officers in fatigues, some with K-9 dogs, said they were searching “near and far” for the gunman and pursuing “lots of tips.”

Why are the officers in fatigues? War mode means nobody is safe..
I think they're in fatigues because they're confident that the perp will take a shot at them if he gets a good one. Not good for ordinary work, but when you're chasing a mass killer, I'm not bent out of shape over that.
What floors me is how the kid's uncle bought him a pistol right after he was arrested for drugs and trespassing. Yeah, kid was perfectly responsible for that....more than one person needs to go to the graybar hotel for this one.
