SUMTER, S.C. — Two South Carolina teenagers have been charged in vandalism attacks on two black churches and with smashing windows at the NAACP office. Bryan Alan Carraway, 18, was charged with attempted arson and burning of personal property.
A 15-year-old has also been charged.
Carraway, who is white, reportedly confessed to throwing a fire bomb through the window of St. Paul AME Church, and setting fire to two crosses outside Goodwill Presbyterian Church. No one was injured in the incidents.
“Nothing like this has ever happened to us,” said Alvin Webb, a minister at St. Paul AME. “I view this as an act of God the church did not burn down.”
