The authorities are calling this terrorist attack a “hate crime.” This included the death of the churches’ leader Reverend Clementa Pinckney. A report states that the terrorist told one member of the church meeting “I am going to let you live. I want you to tell them what happened.” A five year old child hid during the terrorist’s shooting rampage, by pretending to be dead, according to reports.
NBC reports that the terrorist sought out the pastor.
Sylvia Johnson, a cousin of church shooting victim Pastor Clementa Pinckney says she spoke with one of the survivors “and she said that he had reloaded five different times… and he just said ‘I have to do it. You rape our women and you’re taking over our country. And you have to go.'”
