Roof, who is accused of murdering nine people, including state Sen. Clementa Pinckney, in a mass shooting at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C., already faces nine murder counts as well as charges of attempted murder and a weapons charge. His trial for those will begin in the summer of 2016.

The news of the pending indictments comes just over a month after Roof allegedly walked into a Wednesday-night prayer meeting and opened fire on the unsuspecting congregation, whose members had welcomed him.
