On June 17, 2015, 21 year old white supremacist Dylann Roof attended a prayer meeting at the historic Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, SC.  He was not there to pray.  He was not there to study the Bible.  He was there to kill.  After sitting through an hour of the meeting, he opened fire on the 12 other attendees, killing nine of them.  All African-American.  Six women.  Three men.  One of them the senior pastor.  Another a state senator.  Unrepentant, he confessed his crimes to law enforcement officials, boldly proclaiming that he wanted to start a "race war."  In December 2016, a jury found him guilty of 33 federal hate crimes and last week sentenced him to death.  He is awaiting trial in South Carolina on 13 counts which also will likely merit a death sentence.
