ID=29188997Dash-camera video shows North Carolina police officers high-fived and fist-bumped after arresting Dylann Roof, the 21-year-old white supremacist accused of murdering nine black worshipers in a Charleston, S.C., church last week.

Following a tip from a motorist, officers stopped Roof in Shelby, N.C., on Thursday, about 240 miles north of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church and 14 hours after the attack, which is being investigated as a hate crime. The video was released Tuesday.

Four officers approach Roof's black Hyundai sedan, two with guns drawn. One re-holsters his weapon as he approaches the driver's window.

Roof gets out, is frisked and then handcuffed before being led back to a patrol car, where he is placed in the back.

Officers found a semiautomatic Glock .45-caliber pistol hidden beneath a pillow in the backseat of Roof's car.

Roof has been charged with nine counts of murder and a weapons charge. He is being held without bail in the Charleston County jail.
