Law enforcement agencies have acknowledged since last summer that mistakes were made involving Roof's April 2015 gun purchase. COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) " The FBI is being sued by survivors of the shooting inside the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, who say federal mistakes enabled Dylann Roof to buy the .45-caliber handgun he used. So when Roof sought to buy the gun two months later, an FBI examiner spotted the arrest, but called the wrong agency to get his record. Attorney Andy Savage said Friday that his clients hope the litigation will lead to improvements in gun safety. The FBI makes about 58,000 checks on a typical day, handled by about 500 people at a call center.
