The U.S. Attorney General spoke to reporters Wednesday about the suspect in the mass shooting in Charleston, South Carolina. Loretta Lynch said Dylann Roof faces federal hate crimes and firearms charges. She said the charges could lead to a sentence of life in prison or death.

Roof is accused of killing nine people at a historically black church last month. Ms. Lynch said the federal government has not decided if it will seek the death penalty if the suspect is found guilty.
