Charleston, SC (AP) - A law enforcement official has confirmed to The Associated Press that investigators believe the suspect in the Charleston church massacre purchased the gun that was used in the crime at a store called Shooter's Choice in West Columbia, South Carolina.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss by name the details of a pending investigation.

The officials says Dylann Roof purchased the weapon at the South Carolina store.

The store has an indoor firing range and offers concealed weapons classes. On Wednesday, a man behind the store's counter said it doesn't give out information about customers.

Roof is charged with nine counts of murder in the massacre.
