Police Release Video of Accused Charleston Shooter's Arrest

Police in Shelby, North Carolina on Tuesday released video of the arrest of Dylann Roof, the 21-year-old man accused of gunning down nine people at Bible study in a historic South Carolina church last week.

In the video, recorded by a police dash cam, four officers approach Roof's black Hyundai, some with guns drawn. They then frisk Roof and handcuff him without incident.

Roof was spotted in Shelby, about 250 miles from Charleston, by a florist on her way to work. Debbie Dills spotted the black car around 10:20 a.m. on Thursday and called a friend, who then notified police.

Roof has been charged with nine counts of murder in the shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal, which investigators called a racial hate crime.
