Debbie Dills Charleston, A North Carolina florist who helped police track down South Carolina shooter Dylann Roof on Thursday told TODAY she felt "divine intervention" put her in the right place at the right time.
Debbie Dills was driving to work when she noticed a car on the road that made her suspicious. After calling her boss, Todd Frady, who advised her to call the police, Dills then followed the car to try to take down the driver's license plate information.
"I was nervous, I was scared, I'm normally not that kind of person, and I got back on the bypass to go see just if I could get a tag number, just to see — just had a feeling and I'm sure that was divine intervention," she told TODAY. "I feel like God has his hand in it and that he had me where I needed to be."
Authorities say Roof, 21, has confessed to the killings. He was due in court Friday to face charges of fatally shooting nine people while they prayed Wednesday night in the historic Emanuel AME Church in Charleston.South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said the ferociousness of the crime was stunning.
"This is an absolute hate crime… Without question this is hate," she told TODAY, adding that she plans to pursue the maximum penalty against the suspect.
"We will absolutely will want him to have the death penalty. This is the worst hate that I've seen and the country has seen in a long time," she said. "We will fight this and we will fight this as hard as we can."
