The 21-year-old white man suspected of having gunned down nine people at a historic black church in South Carolina, was back in Charleston Thursday after a sweeping manhunt that spanned two states.
Dylann Roof was caught after 11 a.m. ET following Wednesday night's massacre at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. He was arrested about 245 miles north in Shelby, North Carolina, during a traffic stop, Charleston Police Chief Gregory Mullen said at a news conference.
Before Roof's capture, chilling details emerged about the attack. The gunman went to the church and asked for the pastor, the Rev. Clementa C. Pinckney, and sat among congregants during a Bible study meeting, a survivor later told one of Pinckney's cousins.
He then opened fire on the gathering.
"You rape our women, and you're taking over our country. And you have to go," the shooter told the group, according to the survivor's account to Johnson.
