3. Dylann Roof
On June 17, 2015, 21-year-old Dylann Roof allegedly walked into a church in Charleston, South Carolina and opened fire on the African American congregation killing nine people and injuring one other. He was arrested the next day and admitted that he committed the shooting hoping to start a race war. A manifesto was found that suggests that Roof is a white supremacist and Neo-Nazi. Prior to the attack, Roof owned a operated a website called Last Rhodesian where he wrote about his hatred of black people and his interest in the history of slavery. Multiple friends of Roof’s have come forward to say he talked about his desire to kill people, but none of them took his comments seriously.
