A customer at [Pulse](http://time.com/4365260/orlando-shooting-pulse-nightclub-what-know/?iid=sr-link1 "undefined"), the gay nightclub attacked on Sunday morning in Orlando, posted a Snapchat video that documented shots ringing out inside the bar.

[ABC News](http://abcnews.go.com/US/snapchat-video-inside-orlando-nightclub-records-string-gunshot/story?id=39816499 "undefined") has identified the user (who is also the woman seen at the end of the video) as 25-year-old Amanda Alvear. Officials say she was among the [49 victims](http://time.com/4365545/orlando-shooting-victims-names-pulse-nightclub/ "undefined") killed in the attack.

“Yes, this is Amanda,” her brother wrote in a social media post sharing the video, according to ABC News. “She was creating a Snapchat story though the night. This is the last time anyone saw her. After this, she did receive and answer one call.”
