An acquaintance of the man accused of a shooting massacre inside a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina, said Dylann Storm Roof had complained that "blacks were taking over the world."

Joey Meek, a former friend who reconnected with Roof a few weeks ago, said that while they got drunk on vodka, Roof declared that "someone needed to do something about it for the white race."
