DOCUMENTS: AFTER SHOOTING, ROOF WENT AT 2ND BLACK CHURCH

-

Columbia, S.C. — The man convicted of killing nine worshipper­s during Bible study at a black church drove toward a second black church after the shootings, according to South Carolina prosecutor­s who oversaw the federal case against him. In court documents unsealed Tuesday, federal prosecutor­s said they had GPS evidence showing that Dylann Roof exited the interstate and drove toward a church in Summervill­e, about 30 miles from Charleston’s Emanuel AME Church, after committing the June 2015 slayings. According to the government, Branch AME Church also had a sign that advertised a Wednesday night Bible study. During trial, prosecutor­s presented evidence showing Roof had lists of other black churches in his car when he was arrested in Shelby, N.C.
