Dylann Roof "Almost Didn't Go Through" With Shooting

"The man who shot and killed nine parishioners at a historically black church in Charleston, South Carolina, told police that he "almost didn't go through with it because everyone was so nice to him," sources told NBC News."

"And yet Dylann Roof decided he had to "go through with his mission."

"Roof, 21, has confessed to gunning down nine people at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston on Wednesday night, two sources confirmed to NBC News."

"He is expected at a bond hearing via closed circuit television at 2 p.m. ET Friday."

He sat there with those good people for an hour or so after they welcomed him into their church. Did he pray with them?

I heard this morning that there was a five-year old present, who laid under a table and "played dead". He still went through with it, even with a young child in the room.
