One man was arrested and charged with murder, and two other armed suspects were taken into custody while police tried to determine what role they played.
While there was no reason to believe there were any more suspects, the prime minister said the national threat level was raised from low to high. Police warned Muslims against going to a mosque anywhere in New Zealand. And Air New Zealand cancelled several flights in and out of Christchurch. New Zealand's prime minister said that immigrants and refugees "have chosen to make New Zealand their home, and it is their home. They are us." As for the suspects, Ardern said, they harbour "extremist views that have absolutely no place in New Zealand."
In the video that was livestreamed, the gunman spends more than two minutes inside the mosque spraying terrified worshippers gunfire. He then walks outside, where he shoots at people on the sidewalk. Children's screams can be heard in the distance as he returns to his car to get another rifle. The gunman walks back into the mosque, where there are at least two dozen people lying on the ground.
Can’t wait for your message about the Netherlands shooting.
Why do these muslims never speak out when the tables are turned and its non-muslims. Oh ya, they would be on the news every week, and that does'nt fit the agenda for them or MSM.
It’s the first time I hear him saying something nice 👍 Good one Nenshi
Does he speak when Muslims kill Christians?
Perspective..
Just deal with infrastructure Nensh, that's what you were hired to do.
I ask for a ban of Sharialaw in Canada JustinTrudeau
More bullshit. I would like to see this kind of attention paid to the almost daily Muslim terrorist attacks that are willfully ignored by the media and fools like him.
Careless language? Sounds like someone shouldnt be a mayor anymore if he thinks careless language motivated a man to do this...
I can't remember Nenshi ever condemning any of the muslim terrorist attacks in Europe or in North America - there have been so many that I've lost count.
Why did you never comment on this? HypocriteOfTheDay
Why is this guy always talking ?
When words become bullets
He is the only one to blame, no one or nothing else!
He is correct, it was an act of terrorism. What our media needs to do is to report these attacks the same. Danforth was also a terrorist attack, but our media and politicians called it a “shooting.” This is what fuels hatred into individuals. This fake news.
Any Canadian Politician that promotes and directs fear and contempt for any person Canadian or not, should be arrested for a hate crime. Sincerely, Bill Bowen C.W.P. of Canada.
This 'hatred' stems from fear! Fear from a source which refers to a great part of our citizenry as 'Infidels'! This term scares and demeans people of other faiths! It does not promote peace, but the opposite! Find a way to reconcile eastern and western belief systems.
If you are shocked and outraged by this event, you are proving the shooter’s point. Attacks like this happen daily under Islamic rule and receive little attention.
I believe the killer was a loner and had mental health issues.
Are you giving the guy an out?
Well spoken, Mr Mayor. My heart is also breaking for NZ.
Seriously?.... Like CNN, CTV is publishing this about 'hatred' by political leaders (code for Trump) and people we see at Tim Hortons (his supporters), which is exactly what the shooter said he wanted the reaction to be. While they tell us not to read the shooters manifesto.
Wish I'd moved to Alberta when I had the chance
GTFOH.
Wonder why he doesn't cast such broad judgements when the attacker is Muslim?
Attacking unarmed civilians is terrorism. US, UK, Russsia's must answer to internal penal court of La Haye. Attacking unarmed civilians is a crime against humanity that must be punished to stop it. US could give money to countries where there casualties Example Irak refugees
It is indeed. Phrases like 'O Allah! Count their number; slay them one by one and spare not one of them O Allah! Purify Al-Aqsa Mosque from the filth of the Jews!' coming out of mosques.
Wrong! Its a consequence of EVIL. Does Nenshi HATE terrorism? Of course. So 'Hate' is not wrong in itself. The cause is.....EVIL. And as long as we keep denying that nothing will change. Instead opportunistic politicians seek to exploit it in order to end Free Speech.
Too many politicians are addicted to attention
Agreed, and he's not the first - or the last - person to articulate this salient point. I had the pleasure of working with nenshi many years ago - he was a solid, smart guy then and nothing has changed.
Can't say I am surprised that arrogant self serving POS have chosen to use the tragedy to push their own agendas.
