[Magdalen] Please Pray - Shooting in Charleston, SC church

[ROGER STOKES]

This made the lead in the BBC online news so It was the first thing I saw when I fired up the computer just now.  Prayers indeed for the victims, their families and the young man they are seeking.

 Nine people killed during a Bible Study at AME Church in Charleston, SC @ 9
pm last night.    Details are beginning to be told.  Here is a short
excerpt from Charleston Post and Courier.

“Church members at Emanuel AME were gathered for a prayer meeting when
gunfire erupted in the 19th century building. A female survivor told family
members that the gunman initially sat down in the church for a bit before
standing up and opening fire, according to Dot Scott, president of the
Charleston NAACP.

“The gunman reportedly told the woman he was letting her live so she could
tell everyone else what happened, Scott said.

“Police spokesman Charles Francis described the suspect as a 21-year-old
white man in a gray sweatshirt/hoodie and jeans with Timberland boots. He
has a slender build.”
