Tragedy has struck a historically black church in Charleston South Carolina, as a young white man shot, and killed 9 people inside Emanuel AME Church.

The shooter is still at large and police are asking for anyone with information to contact them immediately.  This will be investigated as a hate crime, so the FBI is also involved in the process.
