FBI Director James Comey says the gunman charged in the Charleston church massacre should not have been allowed to purchase the gun used in the attack.
Dylann Roof, the gunman charged in the South Carolina church massacre, should not have been allowed to purchase the weapon allegedly used in the attack, FBI Director James Comey admitted Friday.
Addressing a small group of reporters at FBI headquarters in Washington DC, Comey attributed the problem to incomplete and inaccurate paperwork related to Roof’s arrest weeks before the shooting.
He says an FBI examiner who looked into Roof’s background when he tried to purchase a gun never saw an arrest report in which police say he admitted to possessing drugs.
