New Zealand's deadliest peacetime incident of violence since 1900 occurred in November 1990 in Aramoana, a tiny coastal settlement northeast of Dunedin. The perpetrator, identified as David Malcolm Gray, 33, killed 13 people before he was killed by police.
He then killed two of his neighbor's daughters and set their house on fire before opening fire indiscriminately in the neighborhood, police said. All told, Gray shot or burned 13 people to death, including a police sergeant. No other similar incident on record has claimed more than eight lives in the the nation's history.
The shootings Friday are also believed to have been the first multiple killings involving houses of worship in the country's history. Ardern called the attacks"an extraordinary and unprecedented act of violence."Posts on social media and the fringe message board 8chan that appeared to indicate prior knowledge of Friday's shootings — not yet confirmed by authorities as being connected — featured anti-Muslim rhetoric and extremist political sentiments.
America exports right-Wing extremism.
Multiple shootings and violence at religious institutions in NZ are not only rare, they’re virtually unheard of!

In our prayers ! Hate has reared it’s ugly head ,again!
New Zealand gov should show how serious they are conduct a massive scale operation to find White Supremacy Terrorism org on its soil. Global hunt down for them must star immediately.
It is the responsibility of Muslim Community of NZ to demand the govt to take all necessary “unbiased” actions to uncover the evil mind(s) behind this Terrorist Atack on Muslims. Justice delayed is Justice Denied.
Funny thing is that 'Active Shooter' really means Active Shooter Drill passed off as real. Social engineering brought to buy the same media that lied and still lies about 9/11. crisissolutions
ELINTNews I should hope not...
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raajioon. Absolutely heartbreaking to hear about the Muslims who were killed in not one, but TWO mosques in New Zealand. My duas and prayers go out to all the victims and their families in this senseless crime. May Allah have mercy on their souls.
A crime is a crime whether it is against Christians, Muslims or Jewish people PERIOD
TRUMP and conservatism is a cancer that spreads
sad and heartbreaking
NZ mosque shooting suspect said he supported DonaldTrump 'as a symbol of renewed white identity & common purpose”. Trump’s rhetorics to fuel anti-Muslim hate matter in America, matter in New Zealand & all over the world. The climate of hate he fostered doesn't recognize borders.
