“I’ve had to make statements like this too many times,” Obama said. “We don’t have all the facts [but we do know] someone who wanted to inflict harm had no trouble getting his hand on a gun. At some point, we’ll have to recognize that mass murder like this does not happen in other countries … with this frequency.”
One would assume that this ‘point’ will occur sooner than later.
Obama then called on Americans to “acknowledge” that fact and start to “shift how we think about gun violence collectively.’
The alleged shooter, Dylann Roof, is not believed to have purchased the gun, however. Various media said his father had given the 21-year-old a .45 caliber gun as a birthday gift.
Roof, captured late Thursday morning in Shelby, North Carolina, at a location about three-and-a-half-hours’ drive from the church, was described as a loner by police.
His motive for the alleged shooting is not known. But authorities say he was arrested and jailed for a drug charge in March 2014, and had been arrested for a trespassing charge in a separate incident.
He reportedly hails from Lexington, South Carolina, and was arrested without incident, fully “cooperative,” said Charleston Police Chief Greg Mullen.
Roof’s uncle, Charles Cowles, described his nephew in Reuters as “quiet and soft-spoken.” A student who attended high school with Roof, named John Mullins, described him to the Daily Beast as “kind of wild” and as someone who “used drugs heavily a lot.”
Mullins elaborated: “It [was] obviously harder than marijuana. He was like a pill popper, from what I understood. Like Xanax and stuff like that.”
Mullins also said Roof was known for hurling racial epithets.
