A gunman remained at large early Thursday after nine people were shot and killed in Charleston, South Carolina, during a Bible study session at one of the nation's oldest African-American churches, authorities said.
"I do believe this was a hate crime," Charleston Police Chief Gregory Mullen said early Thursday near the scene at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church.
"It is unfathomable that somebody in today's society would walk into a church while they are having a prayer meeting and take their lives," he said.
The police said the gunman walked into the historic Emmanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church around 9 p.m. and began shooting.
May the soul of the victims rest in peace
