At least 49 people have been killed and 20 seriously injured after gunmen opened fire in two mosques in the New Zealand city of Christchurch Friday, a coordinated and unprecedented attack that has shocked the usually peaceful nation.
New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern called the incident a terrorist attack in a Friday press conference, saying the suspects held"extremist views" that have no place in New Zealand or the world.Forty-one people were killed when gunmen stormed the al Noor mosque on Deans Avenue, New Zealand's Police Commissioner Mike Bush said Friday evening local time. Seven people died at the Linwood mosque on Linwood Avenue, and one person died from their injuries in hospital.
— New Zealand Police March 15, 2019 The shooting at the mosque on Deans Avenue next to Hagely Park, is near to Cathedral Square, where children were taking part in a global protest to raise awareness for climate change."If your child was attending the climate change protest in Cathedral Square and you want to check if they are in the Civic Offices, please call the Council Contact Centre on 03-941-8999," Christchurch City Council said.

This is murder, my heart is heavy and still realDonaldTrump has said nothing to denounce these terrorist acts
Who is the terrorists now Muslims or Christians
Very sad news. Prayers out to victims and their families.
anwaribrahim Gunman=a person who do a multiple headshots, repeating shoot to the victims, shooting women, old men.. Terrorist?
Sounds like a scene from the hit series, 'Game Of Thrones.'
Is only here after equality will available
Not gunmen. Its terrorist.
Should have been america not NZ.
keyziyanotkesha White lobby is responsible for all the terrorism in the world
SanjeevanSS Xtians terrorist?

Senator Fraser Anning’s disgusting response to the Christchurch attack.
Their life was cut short. They could’ve been converted over to Christianity to be accepted into heaven. But no.
But New Zealand have GUN CONTROL how is this possible?
😭😭😭
This planet is going nuts sadly...
So saad.
I'm surprised CNN hasn't blamed Trump for this yet even though it's in another country.
My heart is with the people of NZ..May Peace be with you
All condolences to the victims' family may Allah mercy them إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون
AmaniAAJ He greated the shooter with HelloBrother
Sad!
Putting religion aside for once.This is a pure extremist racist hatred attack on people doing their ordinary everyday business. After recent migration of many people from poorer countries to rich Western mostly Christian countries expect more terror attacks.
StopIslamophobia
So these 4 people killed 49 then just allowed themselves to be 'taken into custody'?!
CNN FAKE NEWS
Oh boy if only gun laws were able to stop this..... oh wait they failed.
💔😔🙏🏼
2A. Carry weapons and shoot back
Islam preached, submission, obey, covert or die....to a mentally ill person that doesnt know religious people are mentally ill also...will freak out....leave people alone!
Muslims kill men, women, children,animals,everything but themselves 😡truth😳
Shouldn’t take long for fake news cnn to blame Trump for this...
The shooters must think that extreme Islamists are the same as normal Muslims. Truly, we all need to defeat all Isis, extreme, hate groups...
CNN morning news are an embarrassment of journalism. Before 8:00 am blaming the President of USAfor this evil attack is unforgivable & unpatriotic. Any blame of mass upheaval comes from CNN , pundits,news anchor.There isn’t any uplifting news of Economy an good of our country.
Muslims target Christians in Muslims majority countries... CNN says little to nothing. 4 white people attack a Mosque and CNN spends serveral house and massive social media posts
So so sick of this. This should not be happening. Why can't people realize we're ALL of one race, the human race? Praying for everyone involved in this situation.
Terrible terrible terrible news.
I'm so sorry. Standing strong with my muslim brothers and sisters everywhere

If he hates immigrants, he can’t ask himself how he ends up there at the end of the world if he is not an immigrant or where he came from?!!!
R.I.P.💔
Radical Christian terrorism
New Zealand with such tough gun laws how did this happen? Oh maybe some people are ruthless and have mental problems. If so they will do as they do.

*neo Nazi terrorist attack
The world is waiting for Justice & The Justice is waiting for Imam Mahdi a.j. Terrorists have No religion. Terrorism remains widespread DownWithGlobalTerrorism NewZealand Mosques Attacks
This is what happens when only the bag guys have guns 🤔
I’m calling for a complete, and total shutdown, of Christians entering this country, until we figure out what the hell is going on.
His manifesto spoke of anti-immigrant sentiment, he must not have realized that by being from Australia that he was also in fact an immigrant in New Zeland.
Finally, after bombarding with NZTerroristAttack hashtag, CNN recognises the terrorist attack.
Citizens of the USA need to take a stand & have our borders more secured. Remember what happened with the twin towers & the terrorist that we're trained in the USA. There are still sleepers here in our country that we need to find before something else happens here in our country
I will never understand humans taking the lives of other humans. My condolences to all in New Zealand for this tragic and senseless loss of life. May this world pray for love and peace. 🙏🏻
Christ church is a very quiet town with most people staying in doors
_anatera Cnn getting sued for fake news
have you corrected Natalie Allen saying 'this is the first ever gun massacre in NZ' yet? (It's not, that was Aramoana in 1990). Have you corrected your guest who pronounced NZ has no experience in mass body identification? (We do, 185 ppl died in ChCh earthquake in 2011).

Terrorist is a terrorist. A person should be allowed to pray and feel safe when praying.
To much pain & suffering in the world, just how much more can this ballon take, only Jehovah knows, be greatful the door is still open to walk through before closes, take action, learn what he's wanting you to know. What more warning signs must B placed having 2 wake up?
Satan& his fallen followers are behind the darkness we are experiencing . Read Revalations 12:7-9,12 Jehovahs Kingdom is fast approaching, Matt.24:3-8,14 The warning signs are before us, pay attention, wake up & see. God's faithful are doing, not just saying, willing to help U-C
Heart wrenching act of terrorism!! What happened to humanity?
Thanks for calling terrorists a terrorist
😢
mkraju - 41+ people were injured
Contented2851 Thank you Donald tRUmp for inspiring racists the world over. MAGA!
Just b/c someone looks and thinks differently, that’s all it really comes down to. It’s justified in the minds of the murders. Senseless.
So sad but what do you do when I’m better than you all the time and bullying is not so important now a days
My condolences to the families praying for comfort
Just b cause people call them selves Christians or Muslims doesn’t actually mean they are. This is so sad and my prayers are with those families.
49 innocent Muslims were martyred in today's terrorist attack US and western leadership spend trillions of dollars to just blame Islam and consider Muslims as terrorist . propaganda of peace slogans are worthless.
Yes this is Terrorist Attack, so terrifying and heartbreaking. My deepest condolences to all the victims and family انا لله وانا اليه راجعون... اللهم اغفر لهم وارحمهم وعافهم واعف عنهم...
This is really heartbreaking but I really appreciate that you are calling it a Terrorist Attack not just deadly attack as many others are calling it. Thank you CNN.
💔😭

He is a Killer and Terrorist, he killed many Muslims, But worlds Media is calling him just a Shooter Because he is not a Muslim ! Shame christchurch NewZealandMosqueShooting حادث_نيوزيلندا_الإرهابي
A gunman? Not a white radical terrorist?
And GOD, if I'm right? Is allowing this to happen...
This is horrific
Dmoojah christian terrorist
This is so heart breaking 😞
Horrible
juliettekayyem - his manifesto praises Trump (why would you leave that out?)
If this country would not have banned guns, these people could have been stopped....this shows...even if u ban guns, criminals will always have them.
And here is the white terrorist 😡
So, so sad.😢
💔
n_izzah This assault has been planned
Dmoojah If the attacker was a Muslim he's a terrorist but when he's not , he is just someone mentally unstable , the funny thing is that these are the same people who keeps talking about human rights

Strongly condemn the TERRORIST attack today in New Zealand - People who commited (or are behind) this unforgivable crime should be given harsh punishment. My thoughts are with the family and friends of all victims.
Looks like a copycat make New Zealand great again Trump admirers
It's very heart breaking my prayers with the victims families who lost their members in this cowardly terrorist attack
My heart is hurting about the news this is racism, and above all this is terrorism, Islamophobia is real ... my heartfelt condolences and prayers are with the victims
Our thought and pray with All victims and Family we condemn the terrorist. From Indonesia
How come you have not yet published a picture of the suspects since one of them has been charged already with murder? Double standard?
The mainstream media must recognise this tragedy as act of terrorism by terrorists. Correct it, it shld be the terrorists' cars. NewZealandMosqueShooting Terrorism NZ

Horrifying & Heartbreaking💔😥
Thanks EU for moving these people into our countries
Thank you for acknowledging this as an act of terrorism.
A Non-Muslim kills innocent people he/she is a shooter...& and a paid with Muslim name taq do this horrible act he/she is a terrorist... 'WHY THE DIFFERENCE'...? BBCWorld
Who were the killers,is it a terror group against muslims is emerging in europe,is it israelis,I hope newzeland govt will come out with the answer very soon,God bless the souls of those died and give strength to thier family to cope with this tragedy.
Thankfully,you called it a terrorist attack
They don’t want the immigrants to conquer the land. Hmm how to say this? They might be angry and traumatised. And heartless. This is bad. I hate violence and please no more religion war :( deepest condolence to all the victims 😭
Don't try to frame this as an anti islamic terrorist attack. He tried to avenge the death of an innocent girl.
'Trump is a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose' realDonaldTrump is not responsible for the actions of a lunatic gunman, but he is responsible for being revered as a 'symbol.' I anxiously await POTUS response and hope condemnation is unequivocal. NewZealand
RIP to the dead and a quick recovery tk the injured. All these divides. We need love on earth. We are all humans first.
Ya Allah 😭😭😭 Barbaric Terrosist , where is your tolerance!!
💔
A country embroiled in gun control debate and this happens. Yes the same thing happened in Australia and they took our guns away. A setup.
Now what would you say mentally unstable? Rather, the truth is a Christian terrorist who killed Muslims with cold blood. He answers the international community, accusing him of committing criminal acts and standing against any attack on Muslim mosques.
Cowards. My thoughts and prayers go out to all affected
please ban the gun for citizens use.
Arafat__AH
So incredibly 💔 at more loss and such hate in this world. As Ronny Dunn sings' we all bleed red, we all taste rain'. God, Allah, Budda, whoever you call the HP save us all.
At least they got a perpetrator.
More fake news from the lying CNN.
n_izzah deepest condolences to all victims and family.
Not Gunmen, It's a terrorist attack~
you dont need a beautiful building to connect to your God pray at home with your family and stay out of harms way... StayBlessed prayfornewzealand
These alt right, white supremacist, white nationalists are going to be doing this here because our 'president' tacitly gives them approval and encouragement. We are going to be massively effed in the near future as a result I'm afraid.
White terrorism was only called by its name when the attack was on a mosque but it happens everyday on the streets . NewZealandTerroristAttack
masihansari Gunman man is mad
cnn....Zafar Iqbal has reply on your tweet showing the video just after the shooting. This is offensive and I demand you have it removed!!!!
There are children killed as well as write it down!!!!!!!
Well done CNN for calling it what it is - an act of terror. Only one as far as I see on my news feed.
Bismillah!
😢
Aussie senator put blame on muslim? Wtf
Why you tell if they are terorist? Please, just say terorist if the culprit muslim. If the culprit from other religion, say him just are somebody with guns. It's always the news tech for all
Prime Minister of NZ calls ChristchurchMosque incident an act of violence - this does indicate there is a white man involved in the shootings. It would have been an act of terrorism if a Muslim was the shooter. JacindaArdern shameful.
The terrorists must be eradicated
One man :’)
More innocent people slaughtered in a 'gun free' zone thanks to an authoritarian government that prefers dead victims to armed victims. VictimRights GunRights Antifa

Terrorism should be get death penalty...

That's how Australians reacted to the shootings:
Those 49 souls will hant all the culprits

If that is not terror I don’t know what is?!
Oh boy here comes the 'gunmen' rhetoric, cant wait to hear how in the US the media wont call them terrorists either.
Christian are the terrorists ... They killed innocent Muslims and later on claims that one mental disturb person killed 27 people ?
Christian terrorism.
Aren't semi auto weapons highly regulated in NZ?

And before anyone starts armchair quarterbacking the actions of this deranged monster. he was clearly unstable and referencing video game characters as inspiration. nothing he said should be taken seriously.
Yeah its terrorist attack, thanks for saying
Is this not terrorism? Is this not terrorist? DoubleStandards MuslimAreNotTerrorist
so sad... I can’t take much more of the incident like this. R.l.P🙏
Some people call Mulsims is terrorists, but look at this... Terror is a terror, not a religion.
Forgot to say he was a trumptard
To anyone supporting this appalling act: you are sick and do not understand the working of the human brain. Please get help, because such cruelty will haunt you for the rest of your life. Every human has an equal right to peace on Earth, irrespective of religion, culture or race.
Will this be called a Christian terrorist attack Let's start telling the truth about which religion is under attack . God bless these poor souls
orange1 is responsible for that...preaching hate, division and terror along with lies to get his puppets worked up with his BS rhetoric...never have I seen any public official behave this way...
guy writes crazy manifesto citing 'violent Invaders.' Shooter himself is a violent invader. 🙄
The horrific carnage caused by a deliberate act of terrorism against safe worshipers shows that hate and hatred,combined with modern techniques and love of review,has reached the limit of mania,so it should not be considered a disease or madness;it is hatred and racism
😡😡Now the whole world should watch who are terrorist Muslim are innocents who are suffering from these types of terrorist tags but actually they are not involved in these type of activities but yes they suffered and still suffering newzealandmosqueattack
Damn shame
And Muslims are the terrorists!🤔
Strongly condemn the TERRORIST attack today in New Zealand - People who commited (or are behind) this unforgivable crime should be given harsh punishment. My thoughts are with the family and friends of all victims.
One of men arrested was not part of the shooting at all, he was armed is why they were arrested. So i hear as i live in nz in timaru.

No other Choice No other option Kill for kill
May Allah save all muslims. Stop_violence. Stop Christan_terrorism.
This is Terrorist Attacks of the Muslims. Where is The World . If This Do Muslim on Church All The World Do War Against the Muslims Countries. So Terrorist has No Religious. RIP

Why man why! And you took it live! He had posted what he was going to do on Facebook before doing it, where is the police from him!!
Just heartbreakingly sad 😢
He is a TERRORIST not attacker
😪😪😪😪😪
I saw '40 dead' at Bloomberg. Anyway,Inalilahi wa ina ilayhi Raji'un.
Trumps despicable comments in support of extreme right at Charlottesville, even after the murder there , will have sent a worldwide message to these deluded right wing groups that murder is acceptable. Grossly cynical and hypocritical behaviour to win votes from extreme right.
This is a terrorist attack This is Christian terrorism
Awful! This is beyond heartbreaking
ALL WE ARE SAYING IS 'GIVE PEACE A CHANCE' via YouTube
terroristAttackOnMosque this is a terror attack why cannot you say it is a terror attack on muslims? this is an ideology this is a hate crime this is a terror attack be brave an be neutral and say it like it is it is a terrorattack NewZealandTerroristAttack ChristchurchAttack

Thank you for calling it a terrorist attack. Please tell the supremacist leader to stop spreading hate.
Unconscionable
This isn’t murder😭😭😭 this is terrorism😭😭😭
The moment as Muslim, you almost get happy that the victims aren’t Christians but Muslim, how paranoid and sick the mainstream media made the people. Shame on humanity 😑
Another good reason to get rid this world of the plague called religion. It has caused more senseless loss of life than anything else in history.
I do my condolences We're all standing against terrorists
Christianterror is everywhere/africa/American indians/asia /new Zeland/Palestine
I don't know why people started blaming 'White' or Right wing. It is TERROR and it should be called only TERROR. It has nothing to do with race or religion.
