https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charleston_church_shooting

An anti-black mass shooting and hate crime occurred on June 17, 2015, in Charleston, South Carolina. Nine people were killed, and one was injured, during a Bible study at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, the oldest black church in the Southern United States. Among the fatalities was the senior pastor, state senator Clementa C. Pinckney. All ten victims were African Americans. At the time, it was the deadliest mass shooting at a place of worship in U.S. history, until the Sutherland Springs church shooting in 2017.

I was about to say; how does OP leave out Sutherland Springs. 26 murdered and 22 injured!

That one wasn't considered a racially motivated mass shooting.

So it’s more of a garden variety mass shooting?

Yes. So, you know, a typical Sunday in the US.
