It’s amateur hour at the MSM! Another phony second-hand account:

http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-dylann-roof-suicide-attempt-20150620-story.html
...suspected gunman Dylann Roof tried to kill himself, 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, said Kevin Singleton, the son of 59-year-old Myra Thompson. “His plan was never to leave that church,” Singleton said. Singleton said he and his family were told the story by Polly Sheppard, 69, one of two adult survivors of the massacre that left nine people dead.

Of course, when the mag on a semi-automatic handgun has run out of bullets, the slide moves backwards and is locked into place. This also locks the trigger—it can’t be moved at all until you load another mag and slam the bolt home. A semi-automatic does NOT go “click” when it runs out of bullets.
