Suspect in shooting is in custody; 9 people killed

CHARLESTON, S.C. - Surveillance photos have helped bring a quick end to the manhunt for the suspect in last night's deadly shooting at a church in Charleston, South Carolina.

A motorist today spotted the car driven by Dylann Roof in North Carolina, and alerted authorities. Police arrested the 21-year-old without resistance.

Authorities say he killed nine people Wednesday night at a prayer meeting inside the historic black church. The Justice Department has begun a hate crime investigation.
