Members of the First Baptist Church in Salisbury held a prayer vigil last night for the 9 who died at the hands of a gunman at a historic black church this week in Charleston South Carolina.

21 year old Dylann Storm Roof has been arrested in the shooting.

But even as they prayed there was concerned about security.

The Rev. Dr. Thomas Tucker said that with their churches one never knows who is coming through the door.

And, yet, he told WBOC that it was impossible to lock themselves in.
