by Wochit 1:03 mins
The
suspect in the shooting at a Charleston, South Carolina, church that
killed nine people has been identified by authorities as 21-year-old
Dylann Storm Roof. Roof is from the city of Lexington, which is about
two hours from Charleston, according to authorities.
Authorities said Roof may be driving a black Hyundai and was last seen
dressed in a grey sweatshirt and jeans.
Court records show that Roof has been arrested at least two times in the
last few months.
On March 2 he was picked up in Lexington County and booked on drug
possession charges and then on April 26, he was arrested in Richland
County for trespassing, according to court records.
An uncle of Roof’s told Reuters he recognized him in the surveillance
photo. Carson Cowles, 56, said, “The more I look at him, the more I’m
convinced, that’s him."
