There was no SWAT team. No armored vehicle. No struggle.
Police released a dash cam video on Tuesday that showed the arrest of Dylann Roof, the 21-year-old white man suspected of killing nine people last week in a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina.
It turns out the arrest was pretty calm.
The video showed officers pulling over Roof on Thursday in Shelby, North Carolina—about 13 hours after the killings and some 250 miles north of Charleston.
Early in the video, two police officers could be seen approaching his car with handguns drawn, but they quickly put the weapons away. Less than two minutes later, Roof was being led away from the car with his hands behind his back.
Shelby police later bought Roof a meal from Burger King, according to the Charlotte Observer.
The next day, he was back in South Carolina to face nine murder charges and was ordered held without bond. He reportedly confessed to the killings and told authorities he wanted to start a race war.
