CHARLESTON, S.C. — The funeral for the victim whose husband offered forgiveness to the suspect in the deadly shootings at a South Carolina church will be held today at the church where the attack took place.

Myra Thompson, 59, was one of nine people gunned down during Bible study at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston on June 17.

During a court appearance last week, Thompson’s widower, Anthony Thompson, told the 21-year-old suspect, Dylann Storm Roof, his family offered their forgiveness.

“We would like you to take this opportunity to repent,” Anthony Thompson said by video stream. “Do that and you’ll be better off than you are right now.”

All nine of the victims in the shooting were black and police contend the attack was racially motivated.

Thompson’s funeral today will follow services for four other victims held at Emanuel AME this weekend that brought political and religious leaders in addition to friends and family.

Those who spoke at the services echoed the similar theme that the lives lost would bring about positive social change.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and the Rev. Jesse Jackson attended the funerals on Saturday and Sunday, delivering similar remarks while adding personal touches for the different victims.

During the funeral Saturday for Tywanza Sanders, 26, and his aunt, Susie Jackson, 87, Haley said the attack happened on her watch and promised “we will make this right.” The governor did not say what actions she planned to take.

Haley has already joined a host of politicians in Southern states who have spoken out in favor of removing symbols of the Confederacy from flags, monuments and license plates after Roof was shown in photos posing with a Confederate battle flag and burning the U.S. flag.
