Morgan Roof, sister of the infamous Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof, was arrested Wednesday for bringing weapons and drugs to her South Carolina high school, according to multiple reports.
Authorities detained Roof after a school resource officer at A.C. Flora High School in Columbia, S.C., was informed she was in possession of marijuana, pepper spray, and a knife, the Richland County Sheriff’s Department announced. Her arrest was preceded by an alarming post on social media criticizing the students participating in National Walkout Day following the Feb. 14 mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Fla., ended the lives of 17 people.
