Police have confirmed accused Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof and Michael Slager, the former police officer who shot Walter Scott in the back, are jail neighbors.
The church shooting that claimed nine victims put the nations spotlight once again on the Charleston region. In April, Walter Scott, an unarmed black man, was fatally shot in the back by a North Charleston police officer, a killing that was captured on video.
The two shootings took place less than 10 miles apart. Now, the two men are being kept in adjacent cells in a Charleston jail.
