4. Video shows gunman using image of Jesus as firing range target

Police are investigating the authenticity of videos shared online hours before the shooting that appear to be connected to Westman.  

According to a video of his reported manifesto, which has since been removed along with other videos on the "Robin W." YouTube channel, Westman attached an image of Jesus wearing a crown of thorns on top of a body-sized gun range target.

The video also showed several messages written on Westman's rifle, including the phrase "Where is your God?" Other messages were also scribbled in white marker, including "Israel must fall," "Burn Israel," and "6 million wasn't enough." The Anti-Defamation League called the writings anti-semitic. 

Another message, "Kill Trump now," was also spotted on the rifle.
