Twenty-one-year-old Dylann Storm Roof, the white suspect in the shooting deaths of 9 at a historically black church in Charleston, S.C. Wednesday night, was taken into police custody Thursday in Shelby, North Carolina.

Charleston Police Chief Greg Mullen said a citizen’s tip led police to Roof’s arrest and that he was “cooperative,” but refused to comment on whether Roof had weapons with him or admitted to the shooting.
