Federal authorities are treating the attack as a hate crime.

The gunman attended a bible study class at the church for about an hour before opening fire, officials said.

The names of the victims have not formally been released, but S.C. State Sen. Clementa Pinckney, a pastor at the church, was among the dead, his colleagues said.

President Obama condemned the killings as another example of mass gun violence.
