Comment made by the shooter during this senseless act-
The survivor’s son “was trying to talk him out of doing the act of killing people,” Johnson said. “He just said ‘I have to do it.’ He said, ‘You rape our women, and you’re taking over our country. And you have to go.’”
He didn't just start shooting from the back of the church, he actually walked up to each individual and shot them close range.
