Federal Hate Crime Charges Likely in South Carolina Church Shooting

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department will probably file federal hate crime charges against the white man accused of carrying out a massacre at a storied black church in South Carolina, federal law enforcement officials said Wednesday.

Dylann Roof, 21, already faces nine counts of murder in state court, where he could be sentenced to death, and a conviction there would make federal action largely symbolic. It was not clear whether state prosecutors, who did not return calls seeking comment, would defer to a federal case.

Analysts at the Federal Bureau of Investigation have concluded “with a high degree of certainty” that Mr. Roof posted a racist manifesto online, which could be crucial to a hate crime prosecution, a law enforcement official said. The website was registered in February under his name, though the person controlling it tried the next day to make it anonymous.
