Charleston Shootings

The Supreme Court rejects appeal from Dylann Roof, who killed 9 members of a black congregation in South Carolina in 2015.

Seven years ago today, a white supremacist opened fire during a Bible study group at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. Nine Black parishioners were murdered. One of the victims was the Rev. DePayne Middleton-Doctor. WFAE’s Sarah Delia spoke to Gracyn Doctor, her daughter, and a former WFAE colleague about her reflections on this year’s anniversary as the country continues to experience mass shootings.

The man on federal death row for the racist slayings of nine members of a Black South Carolina congregation was wrongly allowed to represent himself during a critical phase of his trial, his attorneys argued Tuesday, saying Dylann Roof's continuing “delusional belief” he’d be saved by white nationalists — but only if he kept mental health evidence out of his defense — should have shown his trial judge he wasn't competent.
