Twitter blowing up with suspect description:

Suspect is a white male 21-years of age, grey sweatshirt/hoodie, blue jeans, timberland boots, clean shaven

[–]zeeginganinja 19ポイント20ポイント  (4子コメント)

Really makes me wonder if they know who he is. 21 is oddly specific.

[–]RevanFlash 6ポイント7ポイント  (3子コメント)

They said a name earlier but didn't repeat it.

[–]zeeginganinja 6ポイント7ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yeah, some social media is throwing a name around saying the kid called in bomb threats.

They said the name on News 2, Graham something.

Cops in riot gear just came out of my back yard. Waiting for that door knock and hoping it doesn't come.

Edit: Looks like they're working down the street methodically. Saw a second group on the other side of the street.

I wonder if there will be major searches like Boston.

[–]Sunburn79 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

I would gladly welcome them into let them search my home if it got them one step closer to finding this guy.

Apparently the shooter is calling and taunting the cops. The shooter called and told the cops he had a large bomb by the cops command center.

Source: Talked to a cop just a few min ago.

Edit: Press conference on now. Suspect has Sandy blonde hair, in addition to previous description.

[–]hjwoolwine 6ポイント7ポイント  (3子コメント)

A cop told you that the gunman was calling and harassing the cops?

[–]Acherontius 27ポイント28ポイント  (19子コメント)

On the EMS frequency they just reported a call from someone claiming to be the suspect saying that there is an explosive device on the property.

EDIT: They're staging two engines at Calhoun and Meeting.

EDIT2: Saying it's a nitroglycerine device, in a gray or sliver metal toolbox with appox 86 minute countdown. [Not clear where they're getting this information, probably from the caller?]

EDIT3: Sounds like PD advised the scene is secure.

My friend was evac'ed. She is not in her home right now. I don't know what to tell you. She lives on Henrietta across from the church and she is not in her house, they are moving people back to King and Calhoun.

I biked past this church 8x/week last semester going to harbor walk for classes. It's so hard to fathom. Stay safe and stay strong, Charleston residents. You're all in my thoughts.

[–]Wpm666sc 16ポイント17ポイント  (7子コメント)

I work on Hutson street and walked out of work to see mad undercover cops, regular cops, about six ambulances, and some fire department vehicles.

It trips me out that it happened at a church and there is no motive as of yet.....and the dude is still on the loose.

Good vibes to the families and friends of the victims and to the suspect's friends and family. I can't even imagine what they are going through.

[–]ChefBoyRD69 12ポイント13ポイント  (6子コメント)

Im guessing hate crime its just so unwarranted that seems like the only explanation

[–]Shovelbum26 6ポイント7ポイント  (1子コメント)

NBC is reporting he said "You rape our women and are taking over our country and you have to go."

Later in the twitter conversation you can see this report came from a victim that was purposefully left alive by the shooter to convey his message.

Shooter is still at large. They are looking for a clean shaven, slender white guy in a grey hoodie.

Just saw a very unnerving prayer circle on news 2 and the people are getting angry, talking about violence and not wanting things to come to violence but there will be deaths if there need to be.

Please try to calm your neighbors down.

Being angry is understandable. But that is not the right response, especially when there are so few details.

[–]welfarecuban 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

Violence against who? If it's the shooter, then of course. Otherwise, it'd just be plain old regular murder.

Explains the sirens. I didn't even know what happened until my firefighter brother asked me if I was okay and I had no idea what he was talking about. He must have heard it over the radio. Or on the news. I assume it's on the news.

[–]oakfish 3ポイント4ポイント  (2子コメント)

you have to wonder...hate crime?

[–]popahopadopolis 2ポイント3ポイント  (10子コメント)

It was at the most historic AME church downtown. My guess would be a dispute since it was late meaning a specific gathering like a party or something that people in the African American community would have known about.

I doubt it was a hate crime but the church is by far the most well known African Methodist Episcopal church in the city.

[–]Sunburn79 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

The church's reverend was quoted as saying that Wednesday nights are usually prayer service and bible study.

[–]tonguesplitter 10ポイント11ポイント  (2子コメント)

The news just said they are looking for a white guy. Doesn't necessarily make it a hate crime, but definitely makes it a possibility.

[–]czarrie 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

It is now being investigated as a hate crime per P&C.

[–]bythog 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Of course a newspaper would do that. Until we have witness testimony (I think a few survived, no?) or the murderer's reason we can only speculate hate crime, among other reasons.

[–]zeeginganinja 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

African American churches typically do have Wednesday services. Thought that was common knowledge.

[–]RadioHitandRun 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Frequently, those churches have rehearsals at night for choir, or other events. They do it at night because it's not as hot in the churches.

[–]FemaleSquirtingIsPee -5ポイント-4ポイント  (2子コメント)

It was bible study, not a party. The victims were black, the assailant was white.

Probably not a hate crime, right?

[–]EdibleFeces -2ポイント-1ポイント  (0子コメント)

nah, just an after 8 crime.

[–]nerrinc -2ポイント-1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well according to the bystanders on the news this is all about race now, without knowing any information.

Edit: It is declared a hate crime, which makes sense as anyone who would do anything like this has nothing but hate.

[–]Megmonster5 -4ポイント-3ポイント  (0子コメント)

I guess the straightness of the nose doesn't strike me as "aryan". It could be the camera though. I wish they had better pictures.
