one of the deadliest attacks on a house of worship in u.s. history. investigators say before the massacre, roof joined bible study in the church basement praying for an hour, then he stood up, pulled out a handgun and opened fire shooting each of his victims multiple times, standing over one of them and uttering what police call a racially inflammatory statement. but on friday, he barely said more than a syllable in court. >> what is your age? >> 21. >> you're 21 years old. are you employed? >> no, sir. >> reporter: his friends are talking revealing more details about the 21-year-old high school dropout. caleb brown said he and roof have been friends since childhood hanging out as recently as last year. >> the stuff that he got in trouble for at school was always just like, little tiny behavioral tsk, tsk, don't do that kind of things. nothing violent. >> reporter: in fact,

he says the friend he knows isn't a bigot at all. >> who i knew him then back then is mind boggling. he's not one i would ever say before i knew that this happened would be racist towards anybody at all. >> reporter: but joseph meeks tells a very different story. he spent time with roof just a day before the alleged attack. he calls roof a loner who advocated for segregation and spoke openly of his hatred of black people. >> he said that he thought that the black in general as a race was bringing down the white race. he wanted to make something spark up the race war again. >> reporter: police say that among those who ultimately helped identify roof in surveillance photos after wednesday's shooting, his own father and uncle. that same uncle telling abc news he would push the button himself if his nephew, who this morning is behind bars in a south carolina jail, receives the death penalty. for "good morning america," cecilia vega, abc news, charleston. >> such a puzzling picture of the alleged shooter. cecilia, thank you. and there are fresh developments this morning in the

additional corrections officers that may have played some sort of role in the escape. dan. >> lingering questions remain, of course. linzie, thank you for your reporting this morning. we are also following a big severe weather story this morning. 46 million americans in the bull's-eye this weekend as the stubbornly persistent, slow-moving remnants of tropical storm bill bring possible flooding from indiana to new york. some towns are being evacuated. others bracing for severe storms and rob is tracking it all. rob, good morning. >> good morning, dan. you're right. it is stubborn. this thing has held together remarkably well. you can see center of the circulation rolling up the ohio river. a lot of flooding with this and severe weather. this is one of two systems pounding the u.s. last night. overnight, the skies jammed with severe storms. a new weather system pummeling montana, wyoming and the dakotas serving up heavy rainfall, hard-hitting hail, some the size of golf balls forcing drivers off the roads and more floodwaters and remnants of tropical storm bill still wreaking havoc uprooting trees,

dropping tornadoes, flood watches issued across 11 states from illinois to new york. rivers in texas and oklahoma remain flooded, still near record highs. in ohio, this river swelling over its banks. and in illinois, five reports of tornado damage. one twister ripping off the roof of this illinois home. widespread flooding across the state washing away roads and turning parking lots into lakes. in the south, fallen trees trampling homes and crushing cars in tennessee. >> it's bad. it's worse than what i expected. >> reporter: and in florida, three funnels caught in the same shot. severe thunderstorms in that state taking the life of an 81-year-old man who was struck by lightning. >> just out for his daily walk and apparently seen the thunderstorm coming and was headed home. >> we are going to see more lightning today, but i think flooding is going to be the main issue because, bill, what's left of it has a lot of moisture with it, so up the ohio river this is where you're seeing your flood watches all the way into

the new york metropolitan area. we'll see those rains later on tonight. how much rain, 2 to 4 inches back from charleston. i think lexington, kentucky, getting just north of d.c., tremendous amount of rainfall with this. there is a severe weather component. we'll talk about that in a few minutes. >> look forward to that. thanks, rob. we're tracking another major weather story. out-of-control wildfires out west. it is hot and dry which, of course, is the perfect recipe for fire. more than a dozen are blazing right now. the biggest in the san bernardino national forest in southern california, and there's also trouble in alaska. abc's kayna whitworth has more. >> reporter: five western states up in flames, the nearly 59,000 acres burning is being tracked by nasa. families have watched 37 homes burn in alaska. >> leave the line, jay. let's get out of here. >> reporter: national guard black hawks, the only thing able to reach some of the six fires burning in the wilderness of the last frontier. the governor declaring a state disaster. the lake fire in california's san bernardino national forest scorching 13,000 acres.

sara. good morning, everyone. we begin with that homegrown terror bust in cleveland where a cleveland man under arrest facing federal terrorism related charges accused of using social media to pledge his support for isis and recruit people to join that group. amir al ghazi was arrested after allegedly trying to buy an ak-47 from undercover agents. the arrest comes just as the u.s. state department released new figures showing that there was a surge in global terror attacks worldwide. it said more than 32,000 people were killed in 2014 in more than 12,000 terrorist attacks, that's 35% higher than the year before. and in wisconsin, four people were rescued as the boat they were riding in began to sink in lake michigan. the 31-foot charter boat started taking on water friday afternoon, the coast guard rushing to the scene in response to the captain's distress call. >> we already have our life jackets on. the batteries are underwater and i don't have much more time on this thing. >> the boat did sink but none of

the passengers was injured. officials will work on salvaging that vessel later today. and take a look at this video. three men working on a bridge in pennsylvania when suddenly parts of that bridge collapsed. security cameras capture the moment that two of the construction workers came crashing down. the bridge was undergoing repairs because of flood damage from last year. the workers are expected to survive. good news. and in the uk, a high-flying save caught on camera. watch as a parachute fails to open midair during one of the stunts. his teammate with a parachute swoops in grabbing his parachute midair and helping the other guy to safety. thousands at the red devil show holding their breath collectively throughout the routine. both men today are okay. and finally, yankee slugger alex rodriguez reaching yet another milestone but the ball is the one getting a lot of attention this morning. a-rod belting a home run for the 3,000th hit of his career, and

or muscle do not tak e xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any kidney liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u.s. and that number's growing. like your guys' scores. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. good morning this morning and thanks so much for joining us. i'm chris wic. here's lisa harvey tracking doppler. >> it's going to be a warm first day of spring, starting out with high clouds and a compressed marine layer. we'll keep the low clouds and
