Six mainly African-American churches in five US states have burned down since the deadly attack on parishioners in Charleston, and officials say at least three fires were set deliberately. The arson cases are being investigated as possible hate crimes.

Historically black churches in Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia have been damaged or destroyed in fires that began last Monday. In two cases, the fires may have resulted from natural causes, while three were determined to be arson, and one is still being investigated.

The fires have drawn suspicion of foul play, beginning just days after 21-year-old Dylann Roof killed nine people at a historic African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina. Facing nine counts of murder and possible federal hate crime charges, Roof reportedly told the police he wanted to “start a race war.”
