Charleston, South Carolina (CNN) — Polly Sheppard dove under a table as soon as the bullets started flying.

The stranger who had just been warmly welcomed into the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church began unloading his pistol on a Bible study group, killing nine people.

As Sheppard hid under the table, she saw the shell casings fall and heard the gunman’s boots marching toward her.

“Did I shoot you yet?” the killer asked.

When it became clear the answer was no, the gunman told Sheppard he had a different plan for her.

“You’re going to tell the story,” he said.

That’s exactly what Sheppard did Wednesday when she testified in the Dylann Roof murder trial.

Roof, a 22-year-old self-declared white supremacist, has admitted to the killings. Now, after watching an on-camera confession by Roof, jurors could decide not just whether he’s legally guilty but also whether he should get the death penalty.

The prosecution and defense rested Wednesday and will make their closing arguments Thursday morning.

During her testimony Wednesday, Sheppard pointed in the courtroom to Roof as the killer.

She also described heroic acts by some of the slain victims.

The Rev. Daniel Simmons tried to lunge at the gunman before he was shot, Sheppard said.

Tywanza Sanders, a barber who attended the Bible study, tried to divert the gunman’s attention from others by talking to him and trying to convince him to stop.

“Why are you doing this?” Sanders asked, according to Sheppard.

Roof said he “had to do it — you’re raping our women, raping the nation,” Sheppard testified.

Shortly after, Sanders was killed.

    What is this fuckery? I wonder what are they looking for? Was he remorseful? He was laughing. Oh God I can’t take it. Stop the nonsense. Just convict him already!

      What the fuck does imitation have to do with anything?

      This defense is bullshit. Everyone to some degree acts with subliminal thought. EXAMPLE ADVERTISING!!!

      You can’t have it both ways, MOFO.

      Roof acted on his OWN VOLITION.

      Roof murdered 9 black church-going people. NINE!
