The suspect in the Wednesday shooting in an African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina, was charged Friday with nine counts of murder and one count of criminal possession of a firearm.

U.S. President Barack Obama urged all Americans to work on changing the country's gun culture. VOA's Zlatica Hoke has more.
