people are. but it was mixed with optimism. i was talking to one woman who was putting flowers here and she told me as she was walking up, a white woman grabbed her and gave her a huge hug and said, god bless you. let me step away and when you look at the flowers, the balloons, there have been people, black, white, asian, latino. the entire community has come out for this vigil here that's being erected here at the church. there have been other vigils that have gone on throughout this community and around the state of south carolina. throughout the night. there's another huge one planned for later tonight at 6:00 at the college of charleston. dylann roof came here to this church sat through the bible study class for about 40, 50 minutes before allegedly getting up saying something about the black race about segregation and then opening fire. he's now being held in a detention center about 15 minutes away from the church. again, you mentioned he's got

that bond hearing at 2:00. in some ways that's a formality. he won't be granted bond. legally he can't get bond, but he'll appear in court. there's also another fund thatb what set up for some of the victims' families. for the nine families. boeing has already donated about $100,000 to the fund. later this morning they'll put that up on line so we'll link that on the twitter, facebook pages push that out on the app. so if you want to help some of the families we'll give you a way to do so. again, dylann roof back in court. 2:00 p.m. just for a bond hearing. but he'll have a preliminary hearing coming up here in a few weeks. meanwhile, folks here still trying to very much come together. they expect a huge, huge crowd at that vigil tonight. eun, adam, back to you. new this morning, friends say dylann roof often made

racial jokes saying he blew up about black people taking over the world. >> he wanted segregation white with white, black with white. he didn't believe in what the black race was doing to the white racearrests. you can read about it on the washington app. it's unclear if he had any connection to the 16 white supremacist groups in south carolina. back to you. >> thanks molette. we know the name of the man shot and killed in the district. brian sickles was killed yesterday afternoon. police were called after there were reports of gun fire. sickles was found in an alley near fifth and "h" street. right now no suspect or motive. one witness told news4 he saw a man dressed all in black run from the scene after the shooting. 6:05 now. enough is enough, that's what aaa is saying after the massive

but he was able to get away. but when they put out his picture, his license plate, his car that led to a lot of tips and one woman in north carolina who was on her way to work at a florist shop saw him sitting next to her at a light. she followed him for a short time, called it in to police and then shortly after that they picked him up there. they said he did have a gun on him. but there was no trouble when they were able to apprehend him. he was brought back here to south carolina. he's now being held in a detention center about 15 minutes away from here. he'll have that bail hearing at 2:00. there's no bail, but nothing more than a formality. we talked about this community coming together. later at 6:00 there's going to be the biggest vigil yet at the college of charleston. the arena there. i think you'll see the entire

and that he didn't -- you know, he didn't believe in what the black race was doing to the white race. >> his friend joseph meek there. meek said he knew it was roof when he saw the surveillance images. he says he called the fbi immediately. we have just posted a lot more background on roof on our nbc washington app. just search dylann roof. here in our area you can join those mourning and praying today at noon a prayer service will be held at the metropolitan ame church. tonight at 7:00, you can join members of the national black united front at an interfaith vigil. that will take place at the african-american civil war memorial near "u" street metro station. today marks a major milestone in the eradication of slavery in this country. called juneteenth it's the oldest known commemoration ending slavery in the united states. some are using this day to remember the victims of the
