CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand — An inquiry that began Tuesday into New Zealand’s worst mass-shooting will examine — among other issues — the response times of police and medics and whether any of the 51 people who were killed could have been saved.
After the attack, New Zealand lawmakers moved quickly to change gun laws, banning assault weapons and buying back more than 50,000 guns.

He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

The Associated Press first reported the scene of confusion and terror at the door as people tried to escape but couldn't get it open.
