Shooting suspect Dylann Storm Roof is alleged to have spent six months planning Wednesday's attack on a bible study meeting in a church in Charleston, South Carolina, which left nine people dead. The 21-year-old has been escorted in prison stripes onto a plane to be extradited from North Carolina, after he was arrested shortly before noon EST on Thursday in Shelby, 250 miles north of the scene of the crime. At 6.20pm local time he was seen in a jumpsuit, chains, handcuffs and a bullet-proof vest being chaperoned by dozens of armed police officers on to an airplane at Shelby-Cleveland County Regional Airport bound for South Carolina. His roommate has since revealed he wanted to start a 'civil war', and survivors of the massacre claim Roof sat in the room for over an hour before standing up and saying: 'You rape our women and you're taking over our country. And you have to go.' He was detained after a member of the public spotted his car and called 911. Police say he surrendered without contest and was taken into custody when an officer approached his black Hyundai.
