president obama is he about to speak at the white house about the massacre in south carolina. >> michelle and i know several members of emanuel ema church and we knew their pastor, reverend clementa pinckney who was murdered last night along with eight others our thoughts and prayers are with them and their families and their community it doesn't say enough to convey the heart ache and the sadness and the anger that we feel. any death of this sort is a tragedy. any shooting involving

multivictims is a tragedy there is something particularly heart breaking about a death happening in a place in which we seek solace and we seek peace. in a place of worship. and mother emanuel is more than a church. this is a place of worship that was founded by african-americans seeking liberty, a church that was burnt to the ground because its worshippers worked to end slavery. when there were laws banning all church gatherings, they conducted services in secret. when ther was a non-violent movement to bring our country in line with our ideals some of our brightest leaders spoke and

led marches from this church's steps, this is a sacred place in the history of charleston and in the history of america. the fbi is now on the scene with local police and more of the bureau's best are on the way to join them. the attorney general has announced plans for the fbi to open a hate crime investigation, and we understand that the suspect is in custody and i'll let the best of law enforcement do its work to make sure that justice is served. until the investigation is complete, i am constrained in talking about the details of the case. but i don't need to be constrained about the emotions that tragedies like this raise. i have had to make statements like this too many times. communities like this have had to endure tragedies like this

too many times we don't have all the facts but we know that once again innocent people were killed in part because someone that wanted to inflict harm had no trouble getting their hands on a gun. now is the time for mourning and for healing. but lets be clear. at some point we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of violence does not happen in other advanced countries. it doesn't happen in other places with this kind of frequency. and it is in our power to do something about it. i say that recognizing the politics in this town foreclose a lot of those avenues right

now. but it would be wrong of us not to acknowledge it. and at some point it will be important for the american people to come to grips with it. and for us to be able to shift how we think about the issue of gun violence collectively. the fact that this took place in a black church also raises questions about a dark part of our history. this is not the first time that the black churches have been attacked and we know that hatred across races and faiths pose a particular threat to our democracies and ideals the good news is i am confident that the outpouring of unity and strength and fellowship and love across

charleston from all races and all faiths and from all places of worship indicates the degree to which those old vestiges of hatred can be overcome. that certainly was dr. king's home just over 50 years ago after four little girls were killed in a bombing at a black church in birmingham, alabama, he said they leaved meaningful lives and lived nobly we must substitute for caution and not be concerned about who murdered them but the system and the way of life and the philosophy that produced the mudderers. and their death says to us we must work passionately and unrelent entally.

and if one will old on he will discover that walks with him and will lift you from the fatigue of despair to the boyancy of hope. and to the panel of inner peace. reverend pinckney and his congregation understand that, they reached out not just to members of their congregation worked to members of their own communes but to all in need. they opened their doors. to strangers. who might enter a church in search of healing or redemption. mother emanuel church and its congregation has risen before from flames from an earthquake, from other dark times to give

hope to generations of charlestonans and theantsy of hope. president obama revealing that she and michelle obama revealing that they personally knew the pastor killed in charleston.
