Nine people were killed when a gunman opened fire in the historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church last Wednesday.

Authorities captured and charged 21-year-old Dylann Roof with the cold-blooded hate-crime slayings.

The Prayer Vigil for Healing is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. on the steps of the Bergen County Courthouse, 10 Main Street in Hackensack.
