DALLAS (AP) - Dallas community members have gathered to mourn victims of a shooting massacre at Emanuel African Methodist Church in Charleston, South Carolina.

A 21-year-old white man was being held Friday in South Carolina in the attack at the historic black church. Nine people were killed in Wednesday's gunfire.

Bishop Vashti McKenzie represents more than 230 AME churches in Texas. McKenzie said Thursday that one of the victims was the mother of a local AME member and pastor, but he declined to identify the member.

Another vigil was held Thursday evening at the St. Paul AME Church in Dallas.
