But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill."

> 
> A white man opened fire during a Bible study class at a historic African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina, killing nine people Wednesday evening. The shooting at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, the oldest AME church in the South, is being investigated as a hate crime.
> 
> Here's what CNN knows at this hour:
> 
> THE SUSPECT
> 
> Charleston shooting suspect Dylann Roof, 21, of Lexington, South Carolina, has been captured in rural Shelby, North Carolina, law enforcement sources said. 
> 
> Roof was taken into custody without incident during a traffic stop, a senior law enforcement source briefed on the investigation told CNN. The source said local police were acting on a BOLO (be on the lookout) notice that described the vehicle and the license tag and gave the suspect's name. 
> 
> Roof was armed with a gun at the time of the arrest, the source said. It's not clear if it's the same firearm used in the shooting. Earlier CNN reported that investigators believe Roof used a handgun in the shooting. 
> 
> The senior law enforcement source said the suspect's father had recently bought him a .45-caliber gun for his 21st birthday. According to Berkeley County law enforcement, his birthdate is April 3, 1994.
> 
> "I am so pleased that we were able to resolve this case quickly ... so that nobody else is harmed by this individual," Charleston police Chief Greg Mullen said Thursday.
> 
> According to a warrant in an earlier arrest this year, Roof was approached by police in February after they received complaints about him from a store in Lexington, South Carolina. After a search, police found an unlabeled pill bottle with "multiple orange in color strips" believed to be suboxone. Roof told police he was given the drugs by a friend.
> 
> Earlier today, Berkeley County, South Carolina, tweeted out a photo of the suspect.
> 
> The gunman was at the church for about an hour, attending a meeting with the eventual victims, before he began shooting, according to Mullen.
> 
> THE INVESTIGATION
> 
> U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch made these prepared remarks at 11 a.m.: "The Department of Justice has opened a hate crime investigation into this shooting incident. The FBI, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service, Civil Rights Division and U.S. Attorney's Office are working closely with our state and local partners, and we stand ready to offer every resource, every means and every tool that we possess in order to locate and apprehend the perpetrator of this barbaric crime. Acts like this one have no place in our country. They have no place in a civilized society. And I want to be clear: the individual who committed these unspeakable acts will be found and will face justice."
> 
> A law enforcement official says among the things federal investigators are looking into is whether Roof had any links to white supremacist or other hate groups. There is no indication yet that he was known to law enforcement officials who focus on hate groups. But this is one focus of law enforcement today. 
> 
> The gunman stood up and said he was there to shoot black people, a law enforcement official said, citing witnesses to the shooting. 
> 
> Mullen and the mayor described the shooting as a hate crime -- a designation that would allow federal prosecution.
> 
> Asked why police believe the shooting is a hate crime, Charleston police spokesman Charles Francis said: "Like the chief said at the press conference, they were killed because they were black."
> 
> THE VICTIMS
> 
> Three males and six females were killed, officials said. Eight died at the scene and the ninth died at a hospital. Those identifed so far include:
> 
> -The pastor of the church, state Sen. Clementa Pinckney
> 
> -Cynthia Hurd
> 
> -Myra Thompson
> 
> -Tywanza Sanders
> 
> -Sharonda Singleton
> 
> A woman who survived the shooting says the gunman told her he was letting her live so that she could tell people what happened there, according to Charleston NAACP President Dot Scott. Scott said she heard this from the victims' family members, and stressed she did not speak to the survivor directly.
