Charleston shooting revives 2012 gurdwara attack memories

June 19, 2015 22:55

The shootout inside a black church in South Carolina that claimed nine lives has revived memories of the grisly 2012 shooting rampage at a Wisconsin Gurdwara that had killed six Sikhs.

Dylann Roof, 21, murdered nine people, including pastor and South Carolina State Senator Clementa Pinckney, during a prayer meeting at the historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston on Wednesday night.

He was later arrested and has reportedly told investigators that he wanted to start a race war. In August 2012, a White supremacist had gone on a shooting rampage inside the Wisconsin Gurdwara that had shocked the consciousness of the entire nation.
