Police have reportedly arrested the gunman who shot dead nine people attending Bible study at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Authorities identified the suspected gunman as 21-year-old Dylann Roof. The known victims include the church’s pastor, the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, a state senator, and his sister.
On Friday’s Democracy Now! we dedicated the hour to the Charleston shooting.
