Born in 1994, Dylann Roof is an American white supremacist domestic terrorist who shot and killed 9 congregants of a Black Baptist church in Charleston, South Carolina. Since the shooting, Roof has become a revered figure within neo-Nazi and other supremacist spaces. He was notably cited by Christchurch shooter Brenton Tarrant as a source of inspiration. Like many other white supremacist mass killers, some neo-Nazis hail Roof as a "saint" for their cause.
