Toby Keith has given his take on the murders in Charleston, South Carolina last week. He says that there's nothing to be done about such shootings.
"If it can happen in church, it can happen anywhere, so there's no answer to it. Countries all over the world that have really strict gun polices, like Oslo, Norway. It happens there."
He added that, had a police officer been present at the church, "maybe seven or eight of those nine people would still be alive."
Dylann Storm Roof is in custody in connection with the shootings, and subsequently charged with nine counts of murder.
