COLUMBIA, S.C.—A white man charged with killing nine black parishioners at a Charleston church has been ordered to provide handwriting samples to investigators.

Circuit Judge J.C. Nicholson on Friday directed 21-year-old Dylann Roof to provide the samples.

Following Roof’s arrest the day after the June 17 shootings, several search warrants were executed on Roof’s “known residences and vehicles,” said a court motion filed by prosecutor Scarlett Wilson.
