CHARLESTON, S.C. — The man suspected of killing nine people at a prayer meeting at a historic black church in this city’s downtown area was caught on Thursday some 200 miles away in North Carolina, local and federal officials said.

After an intensive, 14-hour manhunt for the man who carried out a massacre that officials are calling racially motivated, Dylann Storm Roof, 21, “was arrested in Shelby, N.C., during a traffic stop” shortly after 11 a.m., said Greg Mullen, the Charleston police chief.

The police here say Mr. Roof, who is white, is suspected of being the gunman who walked into the prayer meeting Wednesday night, sat down with black parishioners for nearly an hour, and then opened fire.

The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, the F.B.I., and the United States Attorney’s Office for South Carolina have opened a hate crime investigation into the shooting, which left six women and three men dead, and Chief Mullen has called it a hate crime.

“We will now be looking at all of the facts, all of the motivations that led this individual, if in fact he is the shooter,” to carry out the killings, Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch said at a news conference.

“It is really premature to determine which is the best venue, either state or federal, to pursue this matter,” Ms. Lynch said.

President Obama, speaking at the White House, said, “To say that our thoughts and prayers are with them and their families and their community doesn’t say enough to convey the heartache and the sadness and the anger that we feel.”

Mr. Obama said he had known the pastor who was killed, as well as other church members. And called the shooting “particularly heartbreaking” because it occurred in a place of worship where African-Americans worked to end slavery.

The president said lawmakers should address the easy availability of guns, which he said helps make such tragedies possible, adding that he has “had to make statements like this too many times.”

Mr. Roof’s Facebook profile picture shows him wearing a jacket decorated with the flags of two former white supremacist regimes: in apartheid-era South Africa, and in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe.

David A. Thomas, the special agent in charge of F.B.I.’s bureau in Columbia, said Mr. Roof, who is from the Columbia, S.C., area, had not been someone who was being watched by the agency.

The gunman walked into the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church after 8 p.m., and the first call to police came shortly after 9 p.m. Among the dead was the Rev. Clementa C. Pinckney, pastor of the church, who was also a state senator.

A white gunman killed nine people at a historic African-American church in the US state of South Carolina, the city’s police chief said today, describing the attack as a “hate crime”.

The gunman – said to be a 21-year-old white man wearing a sweatshirt, jeans and boots – was still at large after the gruesome attack in Charleston. Officers swarmed across the city to try to find him.

Worshippers were attending a prayer meeting in the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church at 9pm on Wednesday, local time, when the gunman walked in and opened fire, Charleston Police Chief Gregory Mullen said.

Eight victims were found dead in the church and a ninth person died after being taken to a hospital, Mullen said. One other person was wounded and receiving treatment. Several other people were wounded.

Officials did not immediately release the names or any details of the victims, but New York-based civil rights leader Reverend Al Sharpton said in a tweet that the Reverend Clementa Pinckney, the church’s pastor and a member of the state Senate, was among those killed.

The shooting comes at a time of heightened racial tensions in America, after several high-profile killings of unarmed black men at the hands of white police in recent months led to riots and a national debate on race.

“It is unfathomable that somebody in today’s society would walk into a church when people are having a prayer meeting and take their lives.”

The shooting’s designation as a hate crime means federal authorities will help with the investigation and could assist in an eventual prosecution.

After the shooting, a bomb threat was reported near the church, Charleston County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Eric Watson said, and people who were gathered in the area were told by police to move back. No explosive was found.

Police took a man with a backpack and a camera into custody, but later said they were still searching for a suspect in the shooting. A helicopter with a searchlight hovered overhead as officers combed through the area.

Local broadcaster WCSC reported the FBI was on the scene. The FBI could not be reached immediately for comment.

Charleston is known locally as “The Holy City”, due to its large number of churches and historical mix of immigrant ethnic groups that brought a variety of creeds to the city on the Atlantic coast.

Charleston is a popular tourist destination known for its cobblestone streets, Southern cuisine and nearby beaches and islands. The city is also known outside the United States for its namesake 1920s dance.

The church where the shooting happened has one of the largest and oldest black congregations in the South, according to the church’s website. It has its roots in the early 19th century, and the current building was built in 1891.

“This is the most unspeakable and heart-breaking tragedy,” Charleston Mayor Joseph Riley said. “People [were] in prayer on a Wednesday evening. A ritual coming together, praying and worshipping God. To have an awful person come in and shoot them … is inexplicable.”

“The only reason someone can walk in to church and shoot people praying is out of hate,” Riley said. “It is the most dastardly act that one can possibly imagine.”

“We’ll never understand what motivates anyone to enter one of our places of worship and take the life of another,” South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley said in a statement.

An impromptu prayer service was held in front of a hotel near the scene of the shooting. “We pray for the families, they’ve got a long road ahead of them,” Reverend James Johnson, a local civil rights activist, said during the service.
