INTERNATIONAL NEWS - The gunman suspected of shooting dead nine people at a historic black church in Charleston has been identified as 21-year-old Dylann Roof.
A photo of Roof wearing an old South African flag on his clothes has now surfaced.
Roof was still on the run early Thursday, despite a massive manhunt launched by local police with federal back-up.
The shooting at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in the southeastern US city was one of the worst attacks on a place of worship in the country in recent years, and comes at a time of lingering racial tensions.
Churchgoers had gathered Wednesday evening when the shooter walked into the building, sat in the congregation for about an hour and then opened fire, Charleston Police Chief Gregory Mullen said.
