Dylann Roof inculpated for the murders of nine persons in Charleston

Dylann Roof, who confessed to the police being the author of the worst racist killings in the US for decades was charged friday for the murders of nine persons, said Charleston Police on his Twitter account.
The young man of 21 killed nine persons in a church of the black community in Charleston wednesday night before being arrested thursday by police.
Roof told the officers who questioned him that he wanted "to declare a race war", says CNN, citing an unnamed police source. He cooperates with his interrogators, also said a police source in the local channel NBC.
Among his nine victims, aged 26 to 87 years, included four pastors with an elected local Democratic Senate Clementa Pinckney.

Dylann Roof spent an hour with the victims during a Bible study session before shooting them with an automatic pistol. According to a reporter from NBC News, citing unnamed sources, Dylann Roof hesitated to pass the act because "everyone was so nice to him".

Nikki Haley, Republican Governor of South Carolina, said that Dylann Roof deserved the death penalty, which is still in applicable in the state. "This is a racist crime by excellence", she said to NBC television. "We definitely want it to be sentenced to death. This is the worst hate I've seen, or that the country has seen in years",she said, promising to "fight it and fight it with all our strength".
