Charleston Shooting – 131 – Generation Why
Charleston Shooting. June 17th, 2015. A young man entered Emanuel AME Church and sat for about an hour as a Reverend led members of the church through bible study. He later stood up and announced that he was there 'to shoot black people'. Nine of the twelve in attendance would lose their lives. With race as the motivation behind the attacks, some would wonder why he was so angry. How, with pending charges, he was able to purchase a firearm. He was caught the next day, but the story was far from over. Across the country people were talking. Businesses were taking products offline. Reruns of an old popular tv show were pulled.
