“One key part of this horrific scheme — the weapon — came in April, when Roof bought a .45-caliber handgun at a Charleston gun store, according to the two law enforcement officials.

Something is not adding up.

He had a .45, with at least seven rounds in the magazine, and reloaded five times, totaling 35 shots, at a minimum. There were a total of nine killed, and assuming he finished off half those he might have woulded with a follow-up *certainty shot*, that still would have required only around 15 rounds. Assume that after everyone stopped moving, he shot each of the bodies again to be absolutely sure; that's still only 24-25 rounds total.

What did he do with the other 10 or more rounds available to him, and why did he not continue his killings elsewhere in the church? Was he after one or more specific targets, a person or persons in that particular room with him?

Something is not adding up, and we are not being told what it is.

Agreed, and I’m noticing that as well: even if he double-tapped every target, that would be 18 rounds.

Working threat stream is, this was a targeted hit along the same vein as the judge who was killed when Gabby Giffords was shot. Judge dead, Giffords martyred - a twofer for the Left.

And now? We have a martyred preacher/politican, with financial ties to Sharpton’s mercenaries, who was involved in firings of local and state election workers recently. Anyone’s guess as to motive...

That has bothered me as well. I also would like to know since he reloaded 5 times and no news reports ever have mentioned multiple magazines why no one rushed him while he was feeding cartridges one at a time into a magazine.

That's what stopped Colin Ferguson in the Long Island Train shooting. Passengers rushed him when went to reload.
