Charleston Church Shooting.
A young white gunman has been arrested in connection with the killing of nine black parishioners at a Charleston Church in South Carolina, leaving the nation shaken. Federal authorities are likely to file hate crime charges and may also prosecute it as an act of terrorism. The massacre has renewed calls to eradicate symbols of white supremacy, including the Confederate flag. Analysts comment on the state of race relations and the primary symbols of slavery and racism.
