Dalton Tyler, the roommate of Dylann Roof, the gunman responsible for the murder of nine people in South Carolina’s historic Emmanuel AME church, says that Dylann had been “planning something like that for six months.”
via ABC:
“He was big into segregation and other stuff,” Tyler said. “He said he wanted to start a civil war. He said he was going to do something like that and then kill himself.”
Dylan Roof’s grandfather, Joe Roof, declined to comment to ABC News.
Police said Roof was arrested today at a traffic stop in Shelby, North Carolina, about 250 miles north of Charleston.
A citizen saw the suspect’s car and reported it to police, who responded and made the arrest, police said. Roof cooperated with the officer who stopped him, according to police.
Officials said they believe Roof acted alone.
Now, if this roommate knew Dylann was planning something this heinous, why would he not report it?
