(CNN)Police in Charleston, South Carolina, are at the scene of a shooting at a historic black church, a local lawmaker told CNN Wednesday night.

There was no immediate information on potential victims.

The shooting took place at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, said State Rep. Wendell G. Gilliard who represents the district where the church is located.

On its website, the church describes itself as the "oldest AME church in the south."

Gilliard didn't have additional information and said he was on his way to the scene.

Police too have offered little information. The department listed the site of the shooting as 110 Calhoun Street, the location of the church.

The department said the suspect in the shooting is a clean-shaven white man in his 20s, with a slender build. He was wearing a grey sweatshirt, blue jeans and boots.

Soon afterward, news camera showed officers taking a man matching that description into custody -- but police said they were still looking for the shooter.

Every Wednesday evening, the church holds a Bible study in its basement.

Corey Wessenger, who was standing across the street from the church, said the area was swarming with a heavy law enforcement presence.

"I just saw a group of about 40 people escorted by cops," Wessenger told CNN by phone.

Patrick Wright, a reporter with WFMY News, tweeted, "We've been told not to leave our restaurant here in #Charleston for the time being. Helicopter still circling above."

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Police are investigating a shooting downtown that may have resulted in multiple fatalities.

Some reports by journalists and others on social media indicated there may have been multiple deaths, but that could not be confirmed with police, who said they had no information on victims.

South Carolina Rep. Peter McCoy tweeted that nine people were confirmed dead.

Police said the shooting took place at an address that corresponds with that of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church.

The house of worship is the oldest AME church in the South and is led by South Carolina State Sen. Clementa Pinckney, a Democrat. The church has one of the oldest and largest black congregations south of Baltimore, according to its website. Denmark Vesey, executed for attempting to organize a major slave rebellion, was one of the founders.

The shooting took place at about 9 p.m. ET, Charleston police said via Twitter. The gunman is still on the loose, police told the Charleston Post and Courier.

The suspect is a white male about 21-years-old and is wearing a grey sweatshirt or hoodie, blue jeans and Timberland boots, officials said.

The FBI and chaplains were on the scene, Post and Courier reporter Melissa Boughton tweeted.

A woman who answered the telephone at the Charleston Police Department late Wednesday said she'd heard nothing about a shooting. Tweets from Boughton indicate there is law enforcement activity downtown indicative that a shooting has taken place.

An emergency medical worker told people on the street to "drive far away or to go indoors," Boughton tweeted at about 9:45 p.m. EDT.

There is a need to stop the right to own arms if America wants to curb these excesses.

Hmmm...kill a nyggah and he's a hero...ratatatatata...that's just the way it's - Tupac (changes).

A lot of those places in America's South still look like they're in the slavery era, anyway.

So, this isn't shocking at all - hate crime.

[size=16pt]Not Your Brother[/size]

The so-called American Negroes actually believe that they have the same right as American citizens to go any place in white America they please and be accepted or allowed to enter into white society on an equal basis with the white man.

If you understood that which you are seeking to be accepted into and if you understood the nature of those whom you are seeking to integrate with you would, instead, be seeking your own people's society or building one of your own on some land or territory separate from the American whites.

We need land wherein we can build our own society free from the tension, hatred and violence that have accompanied our race relationship with the white race of America.

When you learn that the white man is not your brother, you will readily begin to see and accept the Divine Plan that Almighty Allah (God) has in the working for our people. Who has been our aggressors and murderers ever since we have been in America? Who, by nature, was made quick to shed blood -- even his own? And how much easier it is for them to shed our blood. They are heartless, merciless, when it comes to you and me we all know the true answer, whether you wish to bear witness with your tongues or with your hands, we know that the white man is our aggressor -- the hater of good, justice and equality for you and me.

Do not expect your former slave-master's children to give you the privileges to do as you desire in his own house. According to the Emancipation Proclamation, we as a people were proclaimed free to go for ourselves. In other words, we were on our own to build a nation of our own regardless of our hardships and barriers.

But this we did not do because we were unable and unqualified in the knowledge of self and how to build a civilization of our own. And today our people are too afraid and doubtful even though a way is being made in this wilderness by Allah (God) in Person.

Many so-called Negroes despise and hate "Black Supremacy" without having knowledge of what this means, and yet they support and believe in "White Supremacy." If you say you do not either, then you are neutral. But nay -- some must rule over the other. It is the law of nature.

The ex-slaves of America desire to go to their white masters' restaurants instead of building one for self and kind. You want to go to their schools and learn with white people who hate your very shadows.

I say to you this is a disgrace to act so dependent and loving toward a people who have been your worst enemies and who will go to war against each other before they will give you and me equal justice under their own laws.

Allah (God) is offering you heaven at once on accepting Him for your God, enjoyment and unlimited progress in the new world of universal peace and happiness, unlike anything seen, heard or imagined since the creation of the universe.

You are not American citizens or members of the white man's world. The only American citizens are the white people who are originally from Europe. So why fight a losing battle by trying to be recognized as something you are not and never will be. I am not trying to disillusion you but merely telling you the truth.

Almighty Allah came to make Himself known that He alone is God and beside Him there is no God His equal -- I know of none his equal. I am going to do my part in representing Him in teaching His words of Truth.

We do not need soft talk when it comes to the truth, we need the thrust that will pull us off our knees from begging and put us on our feet as intelligent men and women no longer dependent upon the slave-master but striving to build an independent nation of our own as others have done before us.

We the black people in America have to fight against great opposition coming to us from all sides -- the ignorant blacks and the wise, skillful whites who envy our progress in the way of self-support.

They hate the wide spread of the Truth that Allah has revealed here in the worst part of our Planet Earth. A truck load of our papers MUHAMMAD SPEAKS was set afire by the envious and jealous haters of the progress this paper is making toward getting the Truth to the mentally dead of our people. Oh seek refuge in Allah from such evil, for I know a day that is coming to them when they will wish they, too, were Muslims.

Message to the Blackman, Elijah Muhammad.

[size=18pt]Martin Luther King in 1967: My dream has 'turned into a nightmare'[/size]


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHhJYKPWb8k

On August 15, 1967, Dr. King was speaking to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and this is what he said in his speech “The Crisis in America’s Cities: An Analysis of Social Disorder and a Plan of Action Against Poverty, Discrimination and Racism in Urban America,” quoting Victor Hugo: “If the soul is left in darkness, sins will be committed. The guilty is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.” Dr. King went on from that quote and said this: “The policymakers of the white society have caused the darkness; they created discrimination; they created slums; they perpetuate unemployment, ignorance and poverty. It is incontestable and deplorable that Negroes have committed crimes; but they are derivative crimes. They are born of the greater crimes of the white society. … Let us say boldly, that if the total slum violations of law by the white man over the years were calculated and were compared with the law breaking of a few days of riots, the hardened criminal would be the white man.” That’s Dr. King, 14 months before he was assassinated.


Seperation is the only solution.

When a mentally ill black man is shot by police, he's violent. But when a violent white man kills, he's mentally ill.

Another "pig with a gun" story, don't how many of these stories you need... Racists around the world are probably rejoicing today, the mighty gun is hero.

And for that... Fúck white people and their sympathizers... But this battle cry is getting old, we know if enough white people put effort to eradicate racism it would be gone by now... But they don't, not even the so-called "non-racist" whites, in fact now the entire world is playing along. Best to stop giving them attention, start by stop acting like them and kissing their pale white assés Stop neglecting our own.

20 blacks killed a day by a one group of blacks drunk off religion in northern Nigeria, blacks slowly killed by corrupt leadership who played them on lofty promises, blacks killed everyday by our own for equally dumb reasons in America... If you're still marching, demand to put an end to this. Ultimately whitey's at the top playing everyone.


Don't act surprised by the same recycled tricks of whitey feeling badass with a gun, everytime it happens we sink more into oblivion about building our respective communities.

please don't protest or march!

Do you Know that this church was responsible for helping slave revolts? And Vessey was ...a co-founder..he purposefully targeted this church

Also this guy had a South African flag and Zimbabwe flag? The flag when whites ruled...

They were killed for being of African descent.
The hatred against us continues in the mind of those degenerated wicked thugs European- Americans.

xaxaxaxaax, americans are shocked? they are shocked after 500 years of doing same thing every two days, A Black priest said he's shocked. I said few months ago here on nairaland, that they will begin to come or go inside the churches, A silly but beautiful Black lady, said and in quote "they are covered by the blood" i just wonder now whose blood they are covered in.

Seperation!
