The man who shot nine people dead inside a Charleston church last week was treated to a free Burger King meal soon after his arrest after he complained that he was hungry, according to foreign news reports.

Shelby Police Chief Jeff Ledford revealed said officers treated 21-year-old Dylann Roof to a burger and fries sixteen hours after he massacred churchgoers at a prayer group in Emanuel AME church in Charleston, South Carolina.

Roof was captured while on the run in Shelby, North Carolina, after authorities pulled over a Hyundai sedan which he had used to escape the scene of his killing spree, the Daily Mail reports. The FBI quickly stepped in and handled Roof's questioning after his swift arrest, but prior to that, during transport, his handling by the Shelby police 

'He was very quiet, very calm. He didn't talk,' Ledford told the Charlotte Observer. 'He sat down here very quietly. He was not problematic.'

Roof, a high school dropout who grew up around suburban Columbia, was charged on Friday with nine counts of murder and a weapons possession charge. Authorities found a .45-caliber handgun in his car.

Citing anonymous sources, the Washington Post said Roof showed no remorse and expressed racist views even as he confessed to the crimes.
