CHARLESTON, S.C. — In an extraordinary display of grief and forgiveness, relatives of people killed in a shooting at a storied black church here addressed the suspect in court on Friday, one after another offering an emotional mix of blessings and pleas for peace.

“We welcomed you Wednesday night in our Bible study with open arms,” Felicia Sanders told Dylann Roof, the suspect in a mass shooting that officials have called racially motivated. She was in the church when the gunman fatally shot nine people, including her son, Tywanza, and Ms. Sanders survived by pretending to be dead.

“You have killed some of the most beautiful people that I know,” she said. “Every fiber in my body hurts, and I’ll never be the same. Tywanza Sanders was my son, but Tywanza was my hero.”

But like some of the others, she added, “May God have mercy on you.”

Mr. Roof, 21, who is white, was charged Friday with nine counts of murder and one count of criminal possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime. All of the victims in the shooting at the historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church were black.

Law enforcement officials said that after he was arrested on Thursday, he said he had just done something big in Charleston, and the .45-caliber pistol believed to have been used in the shooting was recovered from his car.

The Charleston Police Department had circulated images of a suspect, taken by a security camera at the church, and it was members of Mr. Roof’s own family who named him as the man in the pictures, according to the arrest warrant, which was released Friday. “The father and uncle of the defendant contacted C.P.D. and positively identified the defendant and his vehicle as those they saw in the photographs,” the warrant said, referring to the Charleston Police Department.

In Mr. Roof’s first, brief court hearing, Magistrate James B. Gosnell Jr., set bail at $1 million on the gun charge, but explained that he did not have the authority to set bail on the murder charges, which would be handled by the state’s Circuit Court. The defendant watched impassively on a video link from a nearby jail, flanked by two guards, as the judge invited victims’ relatives to speak.

“I’m a work in progress and I acknowledge that I’m very angry,” said Bethane Middleton-Brown, sister of one of the dead, the Rev. DePayne Middleton-Doctor. “She taught me we are the family that love built. We have no room for hate. We have to forgive.”





All we need is to give this boy a gun and train him up on shooting, send him to PAP AGM. HUAT AH!
