L'auteur de la fusillade qui a fait neuf morts mercredi soir dans une église de la communauté noire de Charleston aux Etats-Unis (Caroline du Sud) s'est mêlé aux paroissiens pendant une heure avant de tirer, et était toujours en fuite jeudi matin, selon la police.
Le suspect, un homme blanc "très dangereux", est "resté pendant près d'une heure avec le groupe" qui étudiait la bible dans l'église avant de tirer, a précisé le chef de la police de Charleston, Gregory Mullen, lors d'une conférence de presse. Pour le retrouver, la police a fait appel à des renforts de la police fédérale (FBI) et de la capitale Washington.
La photo publiée par la police de Charleston montre un homme blanc, de corpulence moyenne, portant un sweatshirt gris avec une coupe au bol. Il a été identifié comme Dylann Roof, selon le quotidien local Post and Courier, qui cite le FBI.
Selon la police l'homme, mesure près d'1,80 mètre. Il a quitté le lieu du carnage à bord d'une berline noire. Toujours recherché, le tireur "ne doit être approché par personne", a prévenu le chef de la police.
Il a tué neuf personnes, trois hommes et six femmes. Parmi eux figurait le pasteur de la paroisse, Clementa Pinckney, qui est aussi un sénateur de l'Etat de Caroline du Sud, a rapporté un autre sénateur de l'Etat, Marlon Kimpson, aux médias locaux.
