The suspected shooter in the massacre of nine people in America does not seem to have any links to the country, despite appearing in a photo with an old South African flag on his jacket.
News24 could not find an official record of an individual with his name and birthdate on any South African record, during a search this afternoon.
The Facebook profile photo of 21-year-old Dylann Roof also shows a Rhodesian flag beneath the apartheid-era South African flag.
According to Associated Press, a white man opened fire during a prayer meeting inside a historic black church in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, last night, killing nine people, including the pastor.
The shooter remained at large this morning, with authorities describing the incident as a hate crime.
A sizeable portion of his 87 Facebook friends seemed to be black.
