slaughtering nine worshipers inside a church last year was roughed up in jail Thursday morning, officials said.
Dylann Roof was assaulted by another inmate inside the Cannon Detention Center, the Charleston Post and Courier reported. The 22-year-old was not seriously injured and returned to his cell after jail medical staffers checked him out.
The inmate — identified as Dwayne Stafford by local media — will be charged with third-degree assault and battery, the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office said.
Stafford was booked into the jail in January 2015 on strong armed robbery and first-degree assault charges, inmate records showed.

Deputies believe Stafford pounced when Roof was either walking to the shower or the jail’s recreation area. The alleged killer has been in solitary confinement ever since he was arrested in June 2015.
Roof was charged with nine counts of murder in state court and a slew of federal crimes following his alleged rampage inside Charleston’s Emanuel AME Church.
He prayed with the black congregation for an hour during an evening Bible study before he pulled out a gun and opened fire, police said. He killed the church’s senior pastor and eight other worshipers before fleeing the scene. When he was arrested a day later, he told police he wanted to start a race war.

After his capture, police uncovered Roof's bigoted manifesto in which he claimed he has “no choice” but to kill black people. Photos on his social media accounts showed him wrapped in a Confederate flag.
