Chiefs safety Sanders Commings expressed his grief about the mass shooting at a historic black church in Charleston, S.C., which took the life of nine people, including the pastor, a state senator who is also Commings’ cousin.
“RIP to my cousin #ClementaPinckney,” Commings posted Thursday morning on Twitter, hours after The Rev. Clementa C. Pinckney and eight others were killed at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church on Wednesday night during a prayer meeting. A suspect was taken into custody on Thursday.
Commings was present at the final day of the Chiefs’ offseason program Thursday, a mandatory minicamp session.
