49 killed in mass shootings at 2 mosques in ‘one of New Zealand’s darkest days’
At least 49 people were killed and dozens more injured in mass shootings at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, Friday.
At least one gunman carried out what is now the deadliest shooting in New Zealand history.
“It’s something that we never expected to have happen here,” Christchurch MP Gerry Brownlee told “Good Morning America.” “We’re a relatively small population, and while we are ethnically quite diverse, we live very peaceable lives. And this, as many have seen, has shattered our innocence.”

GOOD MORNING AMERICA’S HOMEPAGE:

We Bosniaks need revenge for the last war. So many of our women and young girls have been raped in the most brutal ways and our brothers have been killed. Srebrenica genocide. America and the world let it happen to us. Arms embargo on Bosnia was disgusting.

It’s been 2 years and I still remember this day. Me and my friends all huddled under the desks at school. Just after lunch we came back to class and people were talking about that something was happening in the city and my teacher was just about to to talk to us about it when the whole school went into lockdown. There were rumours spreading around the students that he was coming towards our school and that’s why we were in lockdown, it was scary. They brought around toast after awhile but there wasn’t even enough for half the school. People would go in big groups to the toilets with a teacher and had to crawl there and back. I remember hearing about the livestream and although it had already been taken down, there was people reuploading it to YouTube so I watched it out of curiosity, it was so scary seeing this man kill innocent people like it was all a game. It was like watching a livestream of a video game, he was even talking about it like it was a game but they were real people he was killing. The lockdown didn’t end until 6pm and our anxious parents were all waiting outside the school waiting to take us home.
Weird how the car he pointed his gun at but didnt shoot at was seen in the video driving through a police road block as the gunman was running around outside shooting people that were fleeing.
This is not what Jesus wants us to do,Brothers, turn from violence, we cannot meet fire with fire, that will only make everything worse,Jesus loves you all, God bless
Why is this dude hating on immigrants, isn't he an Australian
im a kiwi and this was shocking ,like no other.it was absoulutely terrible. i hope this will never happen again
I wonder how many potential terrorists were in those mosques
💆this world is b r o k e n
We Bosniaks(Bosnian Muslims)did not forget Serbian Orthodox-Christian war crimes in Bosnia 1992-1995. Kosovo Is Albania<3
The video is so gruesome
😘
Why no one is talking about that Bangladesh national cricket teams players, stuff and coaches was there. If they would reached mosque 4-5 minutes before. They're would have died
i saw the video yesterday it was so sad three days since my heart is sad i cannot believe how can someone be that much cruel that even cannot mercy on a child.
For all the muslim haters in comments I'm writing this as an agnostic Turkish guy. When they see muslims attacked civilians %95 of them HATES THE TERRORIST WHO ATTACKED CIVILIANS because TERRORIST IS TERRORIST FOR THEM TOO. Attacking civilians because of their religion, skin color doesn't accepted here in Turkey. Turks may be racist if u hate them but when you are tourist or they know you you became their guest and guests is important af for us.
The crazy thing is…the Kiwi government allowed this "known" ISIS
terrorist to walk freely. They took away good citizen's rights to
protect themselves…and soon cars, trucks, bus, shoes, pants, ropes etc
etc…until the Kiwi becomes slaves. This is the same agenda that
DEMOCRATS/LIBERALS/ANTIFA/ISIS/TALIBAN wants.
Where is ardern's world wide outrage against islam like we saw with Tarrant? ISIS is islam and is is their culture. When it's a muslim it's an individual but when its a white man it's a culture problem.
Ardern you are as dangerous as that terrorist.
I have the footage and it’s truly sad. In the beginning there is one Muslim man who actually tried to stop him. I can’t help but think if 1 more person helped they would have stopped the whole thing. The 1 guy was so close to knocking him down. I pray we all come together as humans and realize terrorist acts do not help anyone
America , Israel And India Are International Terrorist Countries – Curse At Them –
They were made to hand registered guns over after this.
The religious ideology that inspires terrorism is now being exported (migration) around the world
from afghanistan, as it was in recent years from northern africa into all of europe
Thanks ABC for enabling comments and i advise people to avoid and boycot those stations that have comments closed off – as they then are propaganda dictators.
Newzealand PM is so scared of taking the Name of ideology behind this attack that she literally have to give clarifications to that specific community.
..this is called fear…
What?! New Zealand?! And an Aussie did it?????? Wow!!! Now I know we in the last days. There is not one more idyllic paradisiacal place left. Lord have mercy on us all! Prayers for NZ. Didn't think I could be shocked anymore!
I wished he hit ea sports
