trespassing charge from april a family member says roof's father gave him a 45-caliber handgun for his birthday in april. with dough not know if that was one of the weapons used in the attack. those who know roof say they did not know him to be a racist. but in the pitch other his facebook page he is seep wearing a jacket with white supremacist apartheid era flag patches. joining us now nbc news justice correspondent pete williams. this story was breaking late last night. it was a very short time before we had -- investigators 3r sharing not only a photo but a name of this guy. how did they -- how did they catch him so quickly? >> roughly 15 hours from the time of the shooting until he was stopped in north carolina. and the critical point was about 6:00 this morning when the police and the fbi decided to release surveillance pictures from surveillance cameras at the church. that turned out to be a key thing in this case. photographs of him entering,
6:06 pm
pictures of his car and the police put that out and asked for people to give tips and the tips poured in, almost immediately from friends, even from family members saying we believe this is dylann roof. and then, of course the critical thing when the driver in north carolina and shelby sees a car that she thinks matches his description, she calls her husband and 911. they stop the car and he is arrested. but you are right, it was very fast and it was because of their decision to release these pictures and they had the pictures because the church had surveillance cameras. >> now, the crime was in south carolina but they called him in north carolina. what next? where did they try him? >> we have seen this played out, waived his right to a extradition hearing he will be brought back to south carolina. the where part is clear. he will be tried in south carolina. the who part is unknown. who will try him? will it be the federal government or will it be the state? now, both the state and federal government could bring charges that would bring the death penalty. the state has murder statutes.

6:08 pm
places with this kind of frequency. and it is in our power to do something about it. >> the president says he knows changes will not happen immediately, but the country does need to shift how it deals with gun violence. the shooting has a lot of people thinking and praying and here in our area, many are wondering how to balance the open arms of a church with the security of the congregation. news4's tracy willing continues our coverage now from prince george's county. >> i pray that they -- that he may not forget some of the thing he is heard in that bible study. >> reporter: before dylan roof killed nine people in the church in south carolina, he sat in on an hour's worth of bible stud dhichl minister's prayer for the accused gunman is far reaching. reverend charles brown was leading bible study here at mount knee bow ame church in
