CHARLESTON, S.C. —

Police are searching for
a gunman who opened fire and killed nine
people Wednesday night during a prayer
service at a historic African American church in
downtown Charleston, S.C., in one of the worst
attacks on a place of worship in recent memory. At least one other person was injured in the
assault, which police described as a “hate
crime.” Police launched a manhunt for the gunman,
described as a clean-shaven white male in his
early 20s, who has sandy blond hair and a
small build. Police said he was wearing a gray
sweatshirt, blue jeans and Timberland boots. He
is believe to be the only shooter. Police in fatigues, some with K-9 dogs, said they were
searching “near and far” for the gunman and
pursuing “lots of tips.”
