ADL’s Response to the Charleston Shooting
ADL has been deeply involved in investigative and community responses to the horrific shooting at the historic Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina by a young man influenced and radicalized by white supremacist ideology. Immediately after the shooting, ADL’s Center on Extremism was among the first to identify the suspect, 21-year-old Dylann Storm Roof, as having white supremacist leanings.
