CHARLESTON, S.C. — Police are investigating a shooting downtown that may have resulted in multiple fatalities.

Some reports by journalists and others on social media indicated there may have been multiple deaths, but that could not be confirmed with police, who said they had no information on victims.

South Carolina Rep. Peter McCoy tweeted that nine people were confirmed dead.

Police said the shooting took place at an address that corresponds with that of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church.

The house of worship is the oldest AME church in the South and is led by South Carolina State Sen. Clementa Pinckney, a Democrat. The church has one of the oldest and largest black congregations south of Baltimore, according to its website. Denmark Vesey, executed for attempting to organize a major slave rebellion, was one of the founders.

The shooting took place at about 9 p.m. ET, Charleston police said via Twitter. The gunman is still on the loose, police told the Charleston Post and Courier.

The suspect is a white male about 21-years-old and is wearing a grey sweatshirt or hoodie, blue jeans and Timberland boots, officials said.

The FBI and chaplains were on the scene, Post and Courier reporter Melissa Boughton tweeted.

A woman who answered the telephone at the Charleston Police Department late Wednesday said she'd heard nothing about a shooting. Tweets from Boughton indicate there is law enforcement activity downtown indicative that a shooting has taken place.

An emergency medical worker told people on the street to "drive far away or to go indoors," Boughton tweeted at about 9:45 p.m. EDT.

i  passed by this a little after 9..

i saw this little girl being led out the church by police and she was terrified.

i said to myself that it was probably a shooting then low and behold..

cops were everywhere, they had some dude across the circle k at gunpoint with his backpack on the ground.
 
I tell people all the time were going back to the 60's

this **** right is foul and pissed me the **** off 
 
this town makes me so damn sick.

i've been getting pulled over by the cops almost every weekend.

and its always when im turning into my apartments, the racism is so blatant, the way people act towards anyone who is just a bit darker is disgusting.

people are snobby and it feels like they lowkey wish they can go back to the days from when their families were rich from the hard work their slaves did.

they are so proud of owning human beings and whipping them like animals.

the more blood on your hands the higher the prestige it seems.
 
I used to be stationed in Charleston, and would go downtown to the Battery and would've never thought it would've come to this, RIP to all of the victims.
 
lots of ***** that i cant type here..

Blacks we need to arm ourselves and be out there trying to hunt this Terrorist. White Supremacist. Thug.. Race Soilder..

This is completely sad.. we need to stop prayer circles and arm ourselves.. They arent playing out here and God aint helping us with spirital magic. I love the Chuck so this angers me!!

Mt plesant PD used to harrass me when I would visit my friends there. ASking me for the address of where they lived because they were told no black people lived in this apartment complex. Yeah they were wilding there. 
 
this is really bad.

the wrong people have a voice here - the ones asking for peace & unity and all those good slogans need to give way to people who really need to take matters into their own hands
