A man goes to a historic black Church in Charleston, SC and gun down 9 adults at a Bible study. He kills 6 females, 3 males. The Pastor and State Senator, Clementa Pinckney was one of the people killed in the shooting. Dylann Roof (the shooter) drove from Charleston, SC to Shelby, NC where he was apprehended.

My Opinion
What the hell is this, why would someone do this? He (Dylann Roof) was in the Bible study for about an hour before he gunned down the people in Church, maybe the man is insane but why does this sh*t happen?
I live about 15 minutes from Shelby, NC and this could have literally been any of my friends at Church last night. Also, IMO I don't know if I can take "he is insane" because he goes into a Church, waits an hour, waits till the people are praying before he shoots 9 people. That makes no sense to me, it looks like he was racist and makes it seem like a hate crime.

*EDIT*
People are saying that the shooter left a 5 year old and another adult as witnesses. Makes it seem more and more like a hate crime, it made it seem like he wanted to be caught.

Saw this all over Instagram and stuff and I just find it really sad on the people who sadly died and just don't understand what made that kid do what he did.

I don't blame guns, I blame the guy. Yes maybe he should't have had access to guns, but we don't know the full story yet.

May they rest in peace with whomever they believe

Same, I'm happy they are illegal in UK. Much safer and still protected by police etc.

Whenever I see someone say this it makes me sick. Do you blame forks for making people fat? There is an exponential list that goes on and on.. Guns do not kill people, ignorant and uneducated people (of all races) with guns kill people. This man was sick in the head, and what he did was a shame and a downright travesty, but don't sit there and say you're glad that guns aren't legal, because it has nothing to do with it. The average police response time in the United States is 11-12 minutes.. the average 9mm bullet travels approximately 1100-1300 feet per second. You tell me what is going to save your family faster, waiting for the police or being armed and prepared.

Not every emergency is someone with a gun trying to kill your family though...

Every problem is solved with guns then? No.
