What does this do? I guess my question is there's nine people that are dead.

You said that your goal was to kill black people, specific just black because they are black because your second tired of what?

What's black on white crime and no one's paying attention to that? The lack of movement with the skin that movement and the KKK?

So you said you wanted to kill black people. Now that you did, what are your thoughts?

I guess what message do you want to be told to the public? What do you want people that are remembering Dylan Roof for?

I'm Sruti. I'm Hannah. And welcome to Redhanded. On the evening of June 17th, 2015, 12 members of the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church,

all mother Emanuel as the church is also known, gathered as they did most Wednesday evenings for Bible study.

But that night, they'd be joined by a 13th stranger because randomly a young white guy walked in and asked for the pastor.

The pastor, Clemente Pintnay, welcomed the man in and gave him a seat and a Bible. The man sat down next to the pastor and the group spent an hour discussing the Bible.

The entire time, the stranger sat in silence. As the Bible study came to an end at about 9pm, the group were about to go into their final prayer.

At this point, the young blonde man, who was still sat silently at the table, stood up and took out a 45-calibre handgun. He hesitated for a moment.

But then, I guess, remembering why he was there, he started shooting. As the parishioners were sprayed with bullets, one of the women asked him why he was doing this.

And he replied, you rape our women, you kill us and you're taking over, you have to die. During his rampage, the man fired his gun 77 times, reloading seven times.

70-year-old women, Polly Shepard, was hiding under the table. When the man found her, she prepared herself for death. But the man stopped shooting and told her, I'm not going to shoot you.

I'm going to leave you to tell the story of what I've done. The victims who are now referred to as the Charleston 9 were 41-year-old Clemente Pintnay, 54-year-old Cynthia Marries Herd, 87-year-old Suzy Jackson, 70-year-old Ethel Lee Lans,

49-year-old Dayen Middleton Doctor, 26-year-old Twanzer Sanders, 74-year-old Daniel Simmons, 45-year-old Shuronda Coleman Singleton, and 59-year-old Myra Thompson.

Polly Shepard, Felicia Sanders, who was the mum of Twanzer, they was the youngest victim, and her 11-year-old granddaughter survived.

Though watching her son being shot in front of her and then laying in his blood until she was rescued makes it quite hard for us to say that she or any of the other survivors were lucky.

After the shooting the man fled, unlike these killers normally do, he hadn't killed himself.

After he ran off, Polly Shepard, one of the survivors called 911, and the news blew up.

The shooter was on the loose, none of the survivors had recognised him, and the authorities had no idea who he was.
