DENVER (AP) — A Denver church is holding a prayer vigil Thursday night in response to the shooting at a South Carolina AME church that left nine people dead.

Pastor Timothy Tyler of the Shorter Community AME Church says church members want to pray for the victims and talk about ways they can be safe.

Tyler says he knew the pastor who was killed and said he was an activist in the fight against racism.

The vigil will be an informal gathering inside the Shorter AME sanctuary, which is one of the largest AME churches in Colorado with hundreds of members.
