The racist madman who slaughtered nine people in a historic South Carolina church tried to kill himself after the massacre, according to the son of one of the victims.
He pointed the gun at his head and pulled the trigger, but it went click, because the chamber was empty, Kevin Singleton, whose mother, Myra Thompson, 59 was killed, told The Los Angeles Times .
His plan was never to leave that church.

Agree......
well punk....do you feel lucky?
I've had this happen from time to time - mag adjustment and you're good to go.
So while possible he pulled the trigger on an empty chamber, I rather think it's a story.
I have an extra fer him!
I wonder what ACLU leftist will use an affirmative defense to defend this guy in court claiming he was distressed at the time...
Yup. Homey need boolits in his clips.
He didnt use magazines. Thems were “clips” for foty-five boolits.
I'm sure the State of South Carolina will rectify the oversight, but not without spending lots of the taxpayers money on a trial and appeals.
B.S. He is just a coward. If he really did not like black folks so much he would have drove into the ghetto and started shooting. But they would shot back.
Anther argument for carrying a 45. If the cops had carried them, they could have loaned him a bullet.
It was a Glock 41.
Half-wit knew it was empty.”
Exactly. He was using a G41 Glock. Glocks lock back after the last round. They have 10 or 13 rd capacity. I am calling BS on this story doesn't make sense. It smells of a tall tale made up for attention.
I totally concur. He shot the most vulnerable he could find that kept risk to himself at a minimum.
I would think their ears would be ringing so bad that it would be hard to hear the click.
Put him in prison with African American males in general population: Now.
Darwin Award.
He might have been a tad rattled, don’t you think?
Only DEA agents are professional enough to do that.
I call BS on this, if he wanted to die he would have offed himself..instead he fled to his Daddy’s house and was arrested with a smile on his face..he’s enjoying every second of this
This is what killed me about this demon-possessed little punk druggie. Instead of going to a bad part of town where there are drug dealers and gang killers, he goes into a pristine church full of respectable people who probably were very nice to him and accused them of "raping our women" and shot upstanding people with good jobs, marriages, lives of integrity. This guy is a moron's moron. He has set back the 2A cause for decades with his idiocy. If you're going to do absolute evil, at least do it well. But no. He chose the "banality of evil."
