A video filmed on the app Snapchat by one of the victims of the Wednesday shooting in Charleston, S.C. showed the killer Dylann Roof in the Bible study he would open fire on moments later, according to the website Mashable.
The brief video, obtained by Mashable, showed footage of several people sitting around tables, apparently inside the Emanuel AME Church, on Wednesday night before Roof opened fire. The footage showed what appeared to be a white man sitting beyond several black attendees.
Mashable reported that the video was shot by the attack’s youngest victim, Tywanza Sanders, 26, and that several of his friends confirmed the clip’s authenticity.
“I didn’t notice until now that Dylann was just a few people away from Wanza,” a friend of Sangers told Mashable.”You can slightly see him in the right corner of the screenshot.”
At about 9 p.m. ET, the suspect opened fire and killed nine people, including Sanders and state Sen. Clementa Pinckney (D), who was also the pastor of the church.
