One of the victims of the Charleston shootings may have posted a Snapchat of his alleged killer moments before he was shot dead.

Tywanza Sander, 21, who was killed in the church shootings in South Carolina yesterday, sent a Snapchat of his Bible study group with the tag line: ‘Bible study knowledge planter’.

Most of the participants in the video are black but one white man can be seen in the corner. That man – who had been welcomed into the group – is believed to be Dylann Roof.

The group is seen chatting around a table with papers scattered on it. It is believed that Roof sat with them for an hour before opening fire and allegedly killing nine people.

The video was obtained by Mashable, who confirmed its authenticity with four of Tywanza’s friends.

‘I didn’t notice until now that Dylann was just a few people away from Wanza,’ one friend told Mashable. ‘You can slightly see him in the right corner of the screenshot.’

Many expressed their shock at the footage.
