A frantic manhunt was on in South Carolina, hours after a \”horrible scoundrel\” opened fire in a historic African-American church in downtown Charleston, killing nine, including the prominent pastor and state senator, during a regular prayer meeting.

So, despite the fact that the pope hasn\’t actually released his encyclical yet, Jeb Bush wants you to know he, like John F. Kennedy before him, doesn\’t take orders from the pontiff. If elected, Bush would be the second Catholic president. Ditto Marco Rubio, Rick Santorum, Chris Christie and Martin O\’Malley.

An officer told The Jersey Journal that the incident involved a \”personnel matter\” and said it was isolated to the home at 26 Forest Way, without providing further details about what had happened.

 At around 12:15 a.m., a group of about eight police officers wearing helmets and what appeared to be bulletproof vests entered the building. One of the officers was carrying what appeared to be a battering ram.
