Charleston Suspect’s Jacket Features Apartheid-Era South African Flag
Dylann Storm Roof, the 21-year-old South Carolina man accused of killing nine people last night in a historic black Charleston church, was photographed wearing a jacket stitched with the Apartheid-era South African flag above the flag of the unrecognized, white supremacist African state of Rhodesia.
Police have described the shooting as a “hate crime,” and CNN reports that Roof stood up before opening fire and shouted that he was there to, “shoot black people.”
