The 21-year-old man suspected of fatally shooting nine people at a South Carolina church on Wednesday received a gun for his most recent birthday, his uncle said on Thursday.

Carson Cowles told Reuters and the New York Daily News that his nephew, Dylann Storm Roof, got a .45-caliber pistol from his father for his 21st birthday in April.

Roof is accused of opening fire at Charleston's Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, a historic black church, on Wednesday night. He was taken into custody on Thursday during a traffic stop in Shelby, North Carolina, about 245 miles from Charleston.
