Accused Shooter Had List of Other Black Churches in His Car
CHARLESTON, S.C. — When he was arrested, the man accused of killing nine people during a Bible study in a Charleston church had in his car a list of other black churches in the area, law enforcement officials testified Monday.
At the time, Dylann Roof told FBI agents he was too “worn out” from the June 2015 shootings at Emanuel AME Church to pursue further shootings. But prosecutors trying him on dozens of federal charges presented evidence to jurors that Roof, armed with a handgun, ammunition, clothing and other supplies, could potentially have been planning more violence.
During roughly two hours on the stand, former State Law Enforcement Division agent Brittany Burke testified that names of a handful of other churches and their addresses were found on a handwritten list in a backpack in Roof’s car.
