Police release 911 call that led to Dylann Roof's arrest
An audio recording reveals the 911 call made to police which led to the arrest of alleged gunman Dylann Roof in the South Carolina church massacre.
In the two-minute clip, Todd Frady, the owner of a florist in Kings Mountain, tells a Shelby Police dispatcher that one of his drivers has spotted the wanted the man.
Frady's call is then transferred to an officer who asks him to relay some details about the suspect's exact location.
Frady then gives a detailed description of the vehicle.
"It's a black Hyundai. It has these weird circles on the front," he said.

Charleston church shooting suspect, Dylann Roof, reported captured
It comes on the same day dash cam vision was released of the moment officers arrested Roof and placed the suspect in a waiting patrol car.
In the video, police can be seen pulling over Roof the day after he allegedly walked into the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, a historic black church, and opened fire on a bible study class, shooting dead nine African-American people with a semiautomatic handgun.
The 21-year-old avowed white supremacist allegedly told one survivor that he would let her live so she could tell the story of what he had done and then he fled.
Roof’s getaway and the ensuing manhunt ended when officers surrounded his vehicle with their guns drawn at a traffic stop in Shelby, a small town between Charlotte and Asheville in the rolling foothills of North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains.
By all accounts, Roof showed no signs of struggle during and after his arrest in Shelby — the antithesis of the evil gunman who Charleston officials say spouted hateful speech while slaying his victims, reportedly telling them they had to die because they were black.
The carnage at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston was the worst attack on a US place of worship in decades.
