Holding vigils president obama delivering a statement on the shooting, saying hes had to do this too many times. By our count, at least 14 times. Sandy hook all error ale, ft. Hood the navy yard binghamton on and on and now charleston. Today all of us are reeling, trying to understand how and why a house of worship was transformed into a house of unspeakable tragedy. Today especially with fathers day approaching, the focus on the families missing their loved ones the nine killed. Emergency room doctors say they knew it was going to be horrible. But then when the minutes kept by and they kept waiting for victims to come in waiting for victims to treat, and only one of them made it to the hospital only one of them was treatable. All of the victims have now been identified cynthia hurd Tywanza Sanders, Sharonda Singleton, susy jackson, referee middleton, and state senator clem pinckney, his desk in the senate is draped in black. Cnn is on the ground in washington while were, all chasing down leads to bring you the latest on the massacre and the investigation. Lets start half a block away from the church. Thats where we find our own Martin Savidge. Some family members givess idea how truly awful last night ace shooting was. You know this is a community that is the overriding emotion is grief. People are in absolute shock, but for Law Enforcement, theres also relief because they were greatly fearing that any person who could go into a house of god and murder people could do just about anything. They were afraid for what might come next. That was stop thanks to a husband and wife in North Carolina, who saw something wrong. 21yearold dylann roof is in custody, caught armed with a gun. A terrible human being, who would go into a place of worship where people were praying and kill them, is now in custody. Reporter its not known if the gun found is the murder weapon but roof is suspected of killings nine people in the Historic Church in Charleston South Carolina founded in 1816. We woke up today and the heart and soul of South Carolina was broken. Just after 8 00 p. M. Wen date night roof entered the church. He was invited to join a bible study group. He sat next to my cousin reverend pinckney throughout the entire bible study. At the conclusion of the bible study, um from what i understand they just started hearing loud noises just ringing out. Reporter witnesses told police around 9 00 p. M. Roof stood up and said he was there to shoot black people. He allegedly then took out his handgun and opened fire killing nine. Ems, advising of an active shooter, multiple people down. First responders rushed to the scene. Several of the victims, give mess at least four medic units on that call please. Three people survived the shooting the local naacp president said a family said quote, im not going to kill you. Im going to spare you, so you can tell them what happened. Tonight theyre looking into roofs background and if he had help in well do search warrants. Well do interviews go back and try to put together why this might have happened. Reporter tonight vigils will be held across the country as families in South Carolina grieve. Theres no real answer as to when that suspect will be brought back here to charleston. There would probably by some kind of extradition. When you ask Law Enforcement, do we have any greater idea as to why he did what he did, they say they dont know. This person is truly a mystery, and has led to a true heartbreak in this community and all of this state. Jake . Martin savidge, thank you so much. John berman s. The man hunt was thankfully quick. Walk us through how Police Caught him. Well, the shooting took place just after 9 00 behind me. Of course, the suspect had been in there for an hour already before he opened fire and then fled. The streets here were shut down. There were helicopters overhead on the hunt. They did not find him in this immediate area. They had pictures though, very quickly, hours later, somewhere between 4 00 and 6 00 a. M. We saw our first photos of the suspect taken as he entered the church and what was crucial, also photos of his car, a black hyundai. They were able to trace the plates on that car, and then they discovered his name. So they had his name they had his pictures and they had his car. It was several hours later in the morning, as you say, 14 to 15 hours after he left this church that he turned up in shelby North Carolina about a fourhour drive from where we are right now. In shelby North CarolinaMartin Savidge told you it was a tip from people who said that car looked suspicious. An officer saw him at a traffic stop interacted with him, and arrested him without incident. He did have a gun in the vehicle. We do not know for sure whether it was the gun used in this shooting or allegedly used in this shooting by the suspect, but he is now in custody in North Carolina. There are issues about whether or not he will waive extradition, but sooner or later he will end up back here in South Carolina and face charges. But you know jake it is so fascinating, youve covered a number of incidents like this the suspect dies or kills himself on the spot or so often is killed by Law Enforcement. This man, this suspect he ran, but caught very quickly. Jake . And apparently he surrendered. Thats one of the reasons he was taken alive. He was peacefully surrendering. John berman youll be with us through the hour. Thank you so much. Now to rene marsh, the investigators looking into the suspects past. We have heard the comments he was said to have made, why he was doing. He was wearing patches on his Facebook Page of racist apartheid states, south africa, rhodesia rhodesia what do we know for sure . We know he had brushes with the law before. He was transunity in high school so much so he had to repeat the ninth grade. We also know that dylann roof told the victims he was there to kill black people but investigators are still working on a fuller picture. The coldblooded trigger man captured as he entered emanuel a. M. E. Church a union whiteman 59 slender, clean shaven with sandy blond hair. His getaway car a black hyundai. He reloaded five different times. The mass murderer soon identified as 20yearold dylann roof what he said leads police to believe he killed the victims because they were black. The fact that um he knew the time and place those folks would be gathered he was able to effectively gain access to the church and then he saturday there for a while. Roof sat in bible study with Church Members for an hour before opening fire. He spared at least one womans line he said quote, so you can tell them what happened. There were some premeditation, some preplanning clearly on his part. There were a lot of reasons why he may have delayed his activities. He could have been enjoying the moment or waiting for the right opportunity. Reporter the fbi is now investigating whether hes after waited with any hate groups. His social media profile shows a stonefaced roof outif illustrated in a jacket bearing two flags of apartheid era south africa and nearby rhodesia. This is obviously a young man who is angry, whos disenfranchised with the Great Society that we live in. Reporter Police Records show hes been arrested twice, spending time behind bars this year for a drug charge. The Police Report says roof was in possession of a narcotic used to stop opioid addiction, also arrested and charged for trespassing. When Police Caught him thursday he was armed, but its unclear if it was the same 45caliber guns that sources say his father recently bought him for his 21st birthday this april. We learned he was banned from a South Carolina mall twice, first after displaying bizarre behavior and possession of narcotics. He was banned for a year. When he returned to that mall in april, he was arrested for trespass trespassing. The narcotic found on him is used to treat addictions like heroin. Right now we know that investigators are taking a hard look at potential ties to domestic terrorist organizations, white supremacist groups and other extremists into determine if that at all had anything to do with his motive.

Youre looking at a live image of emanuel a. M. E. Church on calhoun street in charleston. The suspect in the shooting there is in custody. Authorities are looking for any links he may have had to White Supremacists or other hate groups. Today the new u. S. Attorney general Loretta Lynch said this about the investigation. This is a crime that has reached into the heart of that community. The department of justice has opened a hate Crime Investigation into the shooting incident. So what does that mean . Our justice correspondent evan perez joins me from washington. What is the latest on this investigation, and what is the significant of looking into whether there falls under a hate crime categorization. Its important to this attorney general shes a child of the south. She grew up in North Carolina and midway through the conference, she was handed a note saiki saying they had captured the suspect. The reason if this investigation is simply because of the statements that the witnesses told investigators, that this suspect dylann roof made to those survivors, that he was there to shoot black people and that immediately launches the federal jurisdiction which protects protected groups such as africanamericans and others that have historically been victims of discrimination in this country, jake. Evan you and i have talked about this. The fbi compiles reports from across the country and they found in 2013 Law Enforcement agencies reported that of more that 3,000 single more that are 60 were motivated by antiblack or antiamerican bias. Thats more than half. We focus on jihadi terrorism, isis for example, but some experts say the bigger threat here at home in terms of violence comes from the antigovernment ratist hate groups. Thats exactly what we heard from Law Enforcement groups. The isis threat is definitely a bigger problems for the cities where isis is more likely to launch an attack but definitely more likely in smaller places around the country, youre more likely to run into domestic terrorism, something that the department of Homeland Security warned about, but its definitely something thats on the mind of Law Enforcement around the country. Evan perez, thank you so much. The Charleston Police chief was visibly relieved when he got to announce the arrest the the shooter. Lets get to the sheriff. We know it must be busy and obviously im sorry that were speaking under these circumstances. How were you able to identify the suspect so quickly . Oy think it was a combination of the technology, but i understand also results of citizens who had been monitoring the situation, and had information about seeing the vehicle reported at the Law Enforcement, and then sometime later they were able to locate the car and make the traffic stop at which point they took him into custody. We heard anecdotally about his racist motivations. Weve heard from one of thinks classmates that he was a racist and expressed racist feelings in high school. Do you know of any connections that the alleged shooter had to any White Supremacy groups . Im not aware of any, jake. That certainly will be a focal point of particularly the federal part of the investigation. Actually i just got back from d. C. Myself. I was with evan the night before last had dinner with him, as he was speaking to the fbi National Executive institute. But thats something thats yet to be determined. Certainly there are indicators of that. I think the picture that has him wearing rhodesian and South African flags has been well publicized and thats certainly an indicator of that sort of mindset but as far as any specific connection that has not been established so far as i know. Apartheid, south africa if im right. Sir, what can you tell us about the weapon used . Was it just one gun . Well im not going into that kind of de tail. Thats for others to release that sort of information. Let me address the nature. You spoke about liking charleston and were here under these circumstances. Charleston is a unique place, and this community is coming together as an extension of the mother emanuel congregation the victims. I have employees who attend that church. Senator pinckney is an acquaintance of mine. I actually tried to call him last night to um the vigil today and other things that will be planned i think will demonstrate the unit this community has, and the coming together to help these families in their grieving and mourning and then at the appropriate time begin the healing process, but thats going to take a long time. Were not anywhere near there yet. Well be talking a lot more in the show about the community, about the a. M. E. Church and about the victim. Sheriff, thank you so much.

According to police they opened their doors, their bibles their hearts to a young man with evil in his heart, and a gun in his bag. Now people around the world are praying for answers into the deaths of nine victims. Three others lived through the horrifying ordeal.

They had very different backgrounds, but they were all united in their faith. We shall overcome reporter today hymns and organ music echo over a city left in a state of disbelief. Nine worshippers were killed in cold blood as they prayed murdered police say, just for being black. Im in my fourth year. Reverend pinckney who also served as a state senator was silent along with six women and two other men. Survivors relayed horrifying de tails to pinckneys family. His cousin said the killer was intent on his target. He asked, who is the pastor . He sat next to my cousin throughout the entire bible study. Reporter witnesses say the pastor was preaching when he was shot. Today the Senate Session began with a somber remembrance. We seek this morning to gather and honor one of our own, one whom we love with all of our hearts. Pinckneys empty desk in the State Capitol decorated in his honor.

It took place last night. Why . Thats the question so many of us want answered today, but why would a sanctuary meant for solace be sprayed through with bullets . Now police say they have the alleged shooter in custody. Lets go back to my colleague john berman who is live in charleston. John a regardlessable moment earlier today. Nikki haley broke down earlier today. We woke up today and the heart and soul of South Carolina was broken. And so we have some grieving to do and weve got some pain we have to go through. Parents are having to explain to their kids how they can go to church and feel safe and that is not something we would ever thought we would deal with. Having said that we are a strong and faithful state. We love our state, we love our country, most importantly we love each other. I will tell you theres a lot of prayer in this state. So you are going to see all of us try to lift these nine families up in prayers, because they need us. These nine families need us the emanuel a. M. E. Church needs us, the a. M. E. Church family needs us and the people of South Carolina need us to come together and be strong for what has happened. Powerful moment. John youve been speaking with members of the community there in Charleston South Carolina all day. How are they dealing . How are they opening with this horrific act of terrorism . Reporter ive got to say, jake the range of emotion i have seen has been remarkable. Ironic that people were genuinely afraid. There was a killer on the loose, a person who targeted a black church. There are so many africanamerican churches in this community that people were frankly afraid then there was a great deal of satisfaction. I saw someone highfive the sheriff when they learned this man was caught in shelby North Carolina satisfaction that the Law Enforcement community worked together to find him. But more than anything, just shock, disbelief and grief, pure brief. There were nine People Killed behind me at mother emanuel, the emanuel a. M. E. Church. Four of them were religious lead e. Including a man who is a pillar in this community, the reverend Clementa Pinckney looked upon by everyone here as a leader the exact type of person you would want here today to heal. Ive heard it anger, people not at all satisfied with whats going on here or how its been treated. Some people want it to be called terrorism, and a lot of people think its a fair description. But there is also now resilience, people moving forward. There was a democrat who, who went out of his way to praise the governor. Mark sanford is here ryu z. They are all here coming together because people know they need to Work Together to get through this and they want to be here for the people in this church community. Jake . John berman thank you so much. Joining mess on the phone is Malcolm Graham the brother of cynthia hurd. Cynthia is one of the six women, nine People Killed at the church last night. Mr. Graham thank you for joining us. I am so, so sorry for your loss. Tell us about your sister. Tell us about cynthia. Cynthia was the matriarch of the family. Both our mother and father are deceased. In terms of the glue that kept the family together she was a 31year employee of the Charleston CommunitySchool District library system. She loved books. She loved children she loved her community, she loved her family and she loved her god. Mr. Graham how often did she go and do bible study . Emanuel was our home church. We were born and raised in that church baptized in that church. My mom sung in the choir. We were regular churchgoers. I was not surprised she was there that wednesday night. Tell us who she leaves behind. Her husband, steve, who is a longshoreman so were trying toigts him home. Hes in saudi arabia so were trying to make arrangements to bring him back home. She was four older brothers, rho beenen leroy, donald myself and a younger sister jackie. A host of family and friends and a community that really cared about her in Charleston South Carolina. We are hearing wonderful things about your sister. God bless you and your family. I hope these next few weeks are not too tough on you all. Thank you for joining us sir. Thank you. Im also joined by state senator todd rutherford. He talked to president obama and knew the reverend pinckney. Sir, thank you for joining us. What can you share with us about your conversation with the president . The president called me this morning and wanted to wish condolences on behalf of himself and the first lady for senator pinckney the Church Family and the community at large. He was telling me then this was before the young man was caught that all the assistance the federal government could offer would be given to make sure the person was caught. As we know he was. We thank the president for that. The president wanted to make sure we had everything we needed and we do and were grateful for that. The problem is the rhetoric in South Carolina the rhetoric nationwide has led people to believe like this young man, its okay to walk into a church and take nine lives. Its okay to take the life of a state senator, its okay to sit in a church and pray with people before you decide to take their lives. Thats not okay. It needs to change. Tell me what you mean sir, the rhetoric nationwide has had this impact on this twisted racist maniac. What rhetoric are you talking about . South carolina is one of five crimes that does not have a hate crimes law. It still flies a confederate house in front of the statehouse dome. Its emblematic of the problem, which is words come from these networks that broadcast what they call news but its not. Its hate speed and coded language and leads people to believe they can walk into a church because its no longer a house of god, but a killing ground. They can feel free to decent crate and leave blood everywhere and he did so on some illgotten belief on a wrong belief that its okay to do that. He hears that because he watches the news and things like fog news where they talk about things that they call news but theyre really not. They use that coded language talk about the president as if hes not the president. They talk about churchgoers as if they are really not. Thats what he could walk into a church and treat people like animals. You have a lot there to unpack but instead of doing that what i would rather do with the time i have left with you, representative rutherford is find out more about reverend pinckney. Tell us about this man this friend of yours and the loss that is left behind. Ref run pinckney was called to the church as early as 13 years old. He was ordained between 16 and 18 elected when she was 23 then elected to the state senate when he was 27. He hayes lived his entire life and debt indicated it to god and his congregation and his constituents. This is someone bo literally lived all 40 of his years trying to do whats best for the people of South Carolina. We owe him a debt of gratitude and making sure that his loss will not about el in vain. Well try to move the fight forward. This is someone who literally when he was not in the statehouse he was in the church. He leaves behind two young kids and lets not fort the eight others and their families. Of course not. Our thoughts are with you, the families and the community of charleston. Thank you for joining us sir. Thank you. When we come back the horror of this attack made even starker by where it happened in this house of worship. We will show you the unique place that emanuel a. M. E. Holds. And for president obama, this massacre is it personal. He knew the pastor and delivered a personal and controversial message today about the violence. Thats next.

Charleston South Carolina is known as the holy city because of its many churches and tradition of religious tolerance. After lath night, mother emanuel, which has stood since the days of the civil war, is a crime scene. Cnns tom foreman joins us with a look at how this church became a symbol of black freedom. Tom, mother emanuel has dealt with a number of tragedies in its nearly 200year history. Absolutely. The impact of this attack while horrific is undeniably magnified by where it happened. This church is a landmark of our nations struggle with race relations. Located less than a mile from charlestons historic slave market and established in 1816 deep in the slavery years, emanuel has always been more than a place of worship. As the oldest African Methodist Episcopal Church in the south is a live testament to the trials of black america. Here one of the Church Founders tried to organize a slave rebellion almost 200 years ago, only to see the church burned to the ground when it was discovered more than 300 alleged plotters were arrested 35 we are executed. Here runable slaves we are secretly helped on their perilous journey north. Here Martin Luther king jr. Invited new generations to march for equality even as white supremists were hoisting their burning crosses. People like frederick douglas, Harriet Tubman rosa parks blocked to it. Its always been about civil rights. Its always been or freedom house. Pollard is a dean and he said emanuel led the way for so many black churches by being a place where africanamerican politics organizers teachers and more could find acceptance when they were barred from so much of america. You know that you will come there unfiltered. You will come there without recrimination made against you. So no matter the disparages of the largest social order, you can comes here and you learn to be as fully human as you are. Thats what emanuel meant to you. Absolutely. Part of that means the affirming of every Single Person who comes inside our doors, and those who are within the communities around us. In sort emanuel a. M. E. Has visited by tragedies many times over many years, and it is a testament to that church and indeed to black churches everywhere their congregations have found ways to mourn, recover and move forward again. Jake . Tom foreman, thank you so much. President obama says this type of Mass Violence does not happened in other advanced country with his this kind of frequent sid. His emotional comments are next.
