Meanwhile, Hurd’s brother, Malcolm Graham, said of the event, “It was really an attack on a race of people.”
Adding, “It was an attack on humanity and the Christian Church.”
Hurd was killed in 2015 during a bible study by the psycho Roof. He also gunned down Susie Jackson, Rev. Daniel Simmons, Ethel Lance, Tywanza Sanders, the Rev. Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, Rev. DePayne Middleton-Doctor, Myra Thompson and Rev. Clementa Pinckney, the pastor of the church.
Luckily, Roof was sentenced to death in January.
“There’s no place for this sort of deplorable act in our community,” Charleston County Councilman Vic Rawl told the Post and Courier. “Our libraries are places of education and growth for children, and we’ll assist law enforcement in any way possible.”
No suspects have been identified in the graffiti attack, Charleston Police Department spokesman Charles Francis told the publication.
“We’re taking it all very seriously,” Francis said.
