The phrase "The Charleston Nine" was already used in reference to the nine firefighters who died in the Sofa Superstore fire. Maybe it is used for the church shooting victims but I live here and have never heard it used. Everyone uses it in regards to the firefighters and it was commonly used well before the shooting.

The article seems to make it extremely clear that the shooter was far right. Why does it say "left-wing terrorism" under the attack type category? MxRemy (talk) 13:22, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Re [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Charleston_church_shooting&diff=prev&oldid=1268430071 this edit]: The current wording in the article does not explain why the 88 bullets may have been significant. It is also rather speculative, because the [https://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/dylann-roof-guilty-charleston-shooting-232705 Politico source] says "The prosecutor recounted other evidence, like how Roof sat in the church parking lot for 28 minutes in his car, likely loading the 88 bullets — a number embraced symbolically by white supremacists — into eight magazines." In other words, the link to 88 bullets being significant did not come directly from the investigators or Roof himself. While Roof may have intended a link with 88_(number)#In_neo-Nazism, there is not enough evidence to say this for sure. ♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 11:24, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
