0

At least one gunman killed 49 people and wounded more than 20 during Friday prayers at two New Zealand mosques in the country’s worst ever mass shooting, which Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern condemned as terrorism.

A gunman broadcast live footage on Facebook of the attack on one mosque in the city of Christchurch, mirroring the carnage played out in video games, after publishing a “manifesto” in which he denounced immigrants, calling them “invaders”

Police said later three people were in custody and one man in his late 20s had been charged with murder. He will appear in court on Saturday.

Police Commissioner Mike Bush said 49 people had been killed in total.
