'He is evil,' shooting survivor says of accused Emanuel AME Church shooter
"Felicia Sanders, a survivor of last year's Emanuel AME Church shooting, told a federal jury she was just waiting her turn to die as she lay on the floor, covered in her relatives' blood, and watched Dylann Roof make his way across the room toward her. Sanders clutched her 11-year-old granddaughter to her body, telling her to stay quiet and holding her so tight to muzzle her fear that she worried she might suffocate the child.
Sanders was the first witness to take the stand in Roof's death penalty trial, delivering a powerful and emotional account of the attack while chiding the defendant for not having the guts to look at her as she talked.
Seventy-seven shots in that room, from someone we thought was looking for the Lord, she said, her voice choked with tears. But the whole time he was just evil, evil, as evil as can be...."

Prosecutor: Accused Charleston Church Shooter Dylann Roof Stood Over Victims Shooting Repeatedly (with clip)
"As the federal death penalty trial got underway this morning for 22-year-old Dylann Roof, who authorities say is responsible for killing nine people in a Charleston, South Carolina, church in June 2015, the prosecution said in its opening statements that Roof stood over his victims, shooting them over and over again.
As the victims -- including Rev. Clementa Pinckney, a church pastor and a member of the South Carolina Senate -- ran for cover, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Richardson, "as each magazine was emptied, shell casings tumbling across the parish hall, he reloaded ... standing over victims, and he kept shooting and shooting."
Richardson said after the shooting ended, Roof left behind a scene that nobody can fathom. He walked out calmly, looking both ways.
Expecting law enforcement to respond to his horrid attack.".."
