FBI error allowed Charleston shooter to pass background check

The Charleston church shooting suspect, Dylann Roof, was able to buy the gun he used in the rampage because of a mix-up in his background check, the Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey said Friday.
Comey said the examiner of Roof’s background check when he bought the gun in April did not see the police report in which Roof admitted to drug possession, which would have barred him from buying the .45-caliber Glock.
“Because of an error on our part that allowed the gun to be used to slaughter those people is very painful,” Comey said.
During the background check, Roof’s March 1 arrest on felony drug charges was mistakenly attributed to South Carolina’s Lexington County Sheriff’s Department and not Columbia police, the department that actually made the arrest.
“We are all sick about what happened,” Comey said, adding that he has ordered a review of the gun background check process, USA Today reported.
Roof, a 21-year-old white man linked to racist views, is charged with the shooting at the historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, where nine black people were killed.
