it has been a source of strength in this community for so long and that strength is needed today. our thoughts primarily with those who were killed here but we do have new information about the shooter. . 21-year-old dylann roof is back in charleston right now. he's scheduled to make a court appearance this afternoon. police say he was the person who opened fire inside this church wednesday night killing nine people in a bible study class. he was spotted by a woman in shelby, north carolina, a four-hour drive from here. he had a gun in his possession when he was taken into custody. it's not clear whether that's the same gun that was used in the church shooting. family members of his dispute reports that his father bought him a .45 caliber handgun for his birthday. there was other reports he was given money and bought the gun himself.

we're learning about the final moments inside the bible study class as nine people were killed. the young man actually sat in the class for up to an hour before he opened fire. he might have even prayed with the victims. i want to bring in nick valencia good morning, nick. >> reporter: good morning, we believe that 21-year-old dylann roof will wake up in a county jail in north charleston after being captured just north of here spotted by a a florest who saw his suspicious car, notified authorities and that led him to be arrested. we believe that dylann roof is in isolation away from the rest of the prison population likely on suicide watch. according to our affiliate here in charleston they believe the first bond appearance that hearing will take place at 2:00 p.m. eastern where the charges against him will be formalized. this is a a capital offense meaning he will likely face the

death penalty. all of that won't necessarily happen today. today like yesterday was about trying to find him. today is trying to figure him out. what would compel him to open fire in that church during a a bible study session. two ongoing investigations into those nine murders as well as into whether or not this is a hate crime local police have classified it as such. investigators will look into whether or not dylann roof has ties or known ties to white supremacist groups. here in charleston there's a sense of relief that the suspect was caught but grief has overcome this community. grief that is just now beginning, john. >> you can see the sadness around here but you and i both saw the relief as this man was taken into custody because there was genuine fear. there was someone who went into the church behind me and opened fire on people who were praying. what kind of person could do that. that's why there was fear and relief that he was caught. nick valencia thank you so

much. what can cause someone to do that? how can someone be filled with so much hate? there might never be an answer to that question. dylann roof people who knew him said he was shy and quiet and kept to himself. he dropped out of high school after ninth grade. he was arrested in february on drug charges. he was then arrested again for trespassing a at a shopping mall. a mall he was lingering in an odd way for some time. there's also a picture from his facebook page. it shows him in the woods wearing a jacket with patches. take a look at the patches. one of them is the former flag of south africa. the other is from zimbabwe. a friend of this young man told abc news how he felt about black people. >> he wanted segregation. >> what did he want to see happen? >> he wanted something big. he wanted to make something

spark up the race war again. >> what kind of gun did he have? >> a 45 glock. >> the youngest victim of the shooting, 26-year-old posted a snapchat video from moments before the attack. in the video you can see the alleged shooter at the far end of the table. family members say when he began firing he stepped in front of his aunt and took a bullet intend. ed for her. still, she was killed. sanders posted on instagram three hours before a quote that said "a life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives." he did have an impact on lives as you'll hear so many of those killed here did. i want you to listen to an interview given to anderson cooper. a woman who survived by

pretending to be dead described to her the horror of what unfolded inside. >> what i heard is after shooting a couple rounds her son tried to talk him into not committing anymore murder. >> a person tried to talk him down? >> e he did. he tried to talk him down and her son and grand baby had already planned that they were going to just act as if they were already killed. but the son was concerned about the reverend. and he got up and that's when the gunman said you know after the young man tried to stop him from doing what he wanted to

finish off, he said no you raped our women and you are taking over the country. >> you have raped our women and taking over the country. >> i have to do what i have to do. >> and he continued shooting? >> he shot the young man. his mother was there and she witnessed. she pretended as though she was dead but she watched her son fall and lay there. she lay there in his blood. now her entire dress was drenched in blood. she said that's my son's blood. he was a good boy. he was a good boy. >> and he died? >> he passed. along with one of her aunts. >> there's so much loss there's

so much sadness, so much grief this morning. not just here in charleston but all across the country. churches are holding vigils from coast to coast. there were six women, three men who we are learning shared a love of family and such strong faith. the reverend was the leader of the emanuel church. he also served in the south carolina senate. he's being remembered as a gentleman, a tall man with a strong voice. singleton was a speech therapist at a local high school. cynthia hurd worked in the public library system 31 years as a librarian. middleton-doctor was a church leader lost. both were long-time members of the church. daniel simmons was a retired

pastor who attended every sunday. thompson was teaching the bible study. we told you about the youngest victim sanders. he was committed to his church committed to his family and was so generous. >> i've been praying, he really loves his family. he talks about his mom every day. anything you asked him to do he would do. if you met him, you knew you had had a a good friend on your side regardless of anything. he made you smile even when you didn't want to smile. he was happy all the time, always smiling. >> when you hear about these nine people who were killed these nine caring people, it's so hard not to be angry. president obama made a statement from the white house. he noted how many statements

he's had to make after mass killings. e he said he is angry and he used the statement as a chance to talk about gun control. >> i have had to make statements like this too many times. communities like this have had to endure tragedies like this too many times. we don't have all the facts, but we do know that once again innocent people were killed in part because someone who wanted to inflict harm had no trouble getting their hands on a gun. >> the justice department is investigating this asa hate crime crime. south carolina senator tim scott told cnn that he has little doubt that race was a factor. >> there's been a lot of talk today about whether this is an act of domestic terrorism. >> i certainly see the terrorism component as it relates to just a senseless violence taken out

on a group of innocent people in a place of worship. >> after learning about the shooting senator scott organized a prayer. service on capitol hill and was attended by more than 100 members of congress and staffers. there's an outpouring of emotion on capitol hill obviously, here as well. but i can also tell you the emotions are from fear when the killer was still on the loose to relief when he was caught to sadness and just anger over how this could happen. >> has he said anything to police about his motive? has he talked to police yet? any kind of admission from him about his role here? >> we don't know yet. we simply do not know yet what he's doing. when police took him into custody it happened without incident. he surrendered to him when they got to the car there. it's possible that he won't put up much of a fight here.

police are fairly confident in the case they have between the video and the car and the license plate so we will see what kind of legal twists and turns take place over the next several days. >> you look at the pictures of the people and see all they accomplished and the people who love them and think about the contrast between this accused killer the difference, the stark difference about what all these people meant to their community and to their families and that they are gone is just heartbreaking and unfair. john you're going to continue following that story for us this morning. two escaped killers in the fbi's most wanted list. new information in the case as the search widens, next.
