This FBI Inspection Division report reviews the National Instant Criminal Background Check System handling of Dylann Roof's attempted handgun purchase before the June 2015 shooting at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. It examines NICS procedures, examiner actions, communications with South Carolina law enforcement agencies, and the three-business-day Brady transaction period. The report says Roof's purchase was delayed while an examiner sought disposition information for a drug-related arrest, but the dealer legally transferred the firearm after the period expired. Released material includes the executive summary, NICS workflow and staffing information, findings on incomplete records and delayed agency responses, and references to case-related faxes and record printouts.
