CHARLESTON, S. C. — He’s white, slightly built and in his early 20s — and police say he walked into a Charleston, South Carolina, church and fatally shot nine people as they attended Bible study class. Police released a flier Thursday morning with details of the suspect in the attack on the historic African-American church as they appealed for help to track him down as quickly as possible. The subject should be driving a 2000 Hyundai Elantra GS, SC registration LGF330. Charleston Police Chief Gregory Mullen told a news conference that officers “have obtained surveillance videos of the suspect in this case and a suspect vehicle. Mullen said the suspect was a “younger white male between 21 and 25 years of age, 5-foot-9 in height” and “has a very distinctive sweatshirt that has markings. Mullen emphasized the suspect is “a very dangerous individual” and said “he should not be approached by anyone. Any people who recognize the suspect or spots the vehicle should alert law enforcement, he said, rather than trying to follow themselves. A female survivor told family members that the gunman told her he was letting her live to tell everyone else what happened, Dot Scott, president of the local branch of the NAACP, told CNN.
