Black Churchgoers

Dylann Roof, the 22-year-old accused of gunning down nine black churchgoers in South Carolina, is set to go on trial Monday over a crime that so horrified the country he faces two death penalty prosecutions.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump promised African Americans prosperity and jobs Saturday in a tempered speech to black churchgoers in a US city famous as a symbol of economic and urban decline.

US prosecutors will seek the death penalty for the gunman suspected of killing nine black churchgoers in South Carolina last year, Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced Tuesday.

South Carolina prosecutors said Thursday they intend to seek the death penalty for Dylann Roof, the white alleged supremacist charged with killing nine black churchgoers in June.

The man charged in the deaths of nine black churchgoers in a Charleston, South Carolina, shooting last month will face federal hate crime charges, medial outlets reported on Wednesday, citing US law enforcement sources.

The suspect in the killings of nine black churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina, was able to buy a gun because of mistakes in a background check that should have revealed an admission of drug possession, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey said on Friday.

For a frustrated President Barack Obama, last week's slaughter of nine black churchgoers proves once again that the United States has yet to exorcise its racist demons.

Mourners arrived in Charleston from around the United States today to pay their respects to nine black churchgoers killed in an attack this week, with services planned throughout the day ahead of a rally in the state capital later in the evening.
