Dylann Storm
Roof, the man who allegedly entered a South Carolina church last night
and massacred nine people at their weekly bible study meeting, has been
escorted in prison stripes onto a plane to be extradited from North
Carolina.
The
21-year-old was arrested shortly before noon on Thursday in Shelby, North Carolina,
250 miles north of the targeted church in Charleston, SC.
At
6.20pm local time he was seen in a jumpsuit, chains, handcuffs and a
bullet-proof vest being chaperoned by dozens of armed police officers on
to an airplane at Shelby-Cleveland County Regional Airport bound for
South Carolina.
Survivors
of the massacre claim Roof sat in the room for over an hour before
standing up and saying: ‘You rape our women and you're taking over our
country. And you have to go.’
News gathered that his
roommate revealed Roof had been planning the attack for six months, and
had wanted to start a 'civil war' before killing himself.
Roof
was detained after a member of the public spotted his car and called
911.
'In
America, we don't let bad people like this get away,' said Charleston
Mayor, Joseph P. Riley, Jr. at a press conference announcing the
arrest.
