Novelist repeats his call for reform of gun ownership with Twitter posts in the wake of Charleston church shootings
American novelist Stephen King has hit out at the “proudly closed minds” on gun control in America following the murder of nine black churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina this week.
Six women and three men were killed in the historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal church on Wednesday, with suspect Dylann Roof, a white 21-year-old who acquaintances have said had been “planning something like that for six months,” now in custody. According to Roof’s uncle, Carson Cowles, the 21-year-old, whom a Facebook picture has shown wearing a jacket bearing the flags of the former white-supremacist regimes of South Africa and Rhodesia, had been given the gun for his 21st birthday.
