Christchurch mass shooting: New Zealand police confirm there have been 'multiple fatalities, as far as we know, at two locations' named as mosques in Christchurch, and that one person is in custody

New Zealand police commissioner Mike Bush said in a Facebook video there had been"multiple fatalities, as far as we know, at two locations."

He said the shooting began at about 1:40 p.m. local time when he heard"gunfire sound coming from the back side." "I came to the street I saw one person got shot on his chest," he said, adding that the ambulance and police then arrived on the scene. Police say they are still responding to a"serious and evolving" incident in the city after reports of shots being fired at about 1.40 p.m. local time.

The city is currently on lockdown, with authorities advising residents to stay inside. Christchurch City Council tweeted that it was locking down a"number of central city buildings, including the Civic Offices and Central Library." "Police recommend that residents across Christchurch remain off the streets and indoors until further notice. Christchurch schools will be locked down until further notice," the statement said.

Do better job and called it a Terrorist attack rather than a mass shooting..Dare to speak truth..

bharianmy This is not mass shooting this is TERRORIST ATTACK!!!!

They are The real terorism,.

bernamadotcom Terrorist white man

Will somebody call him a terrorist ? Or the name terrorist is just reserved for Muslims ?

Absolutely dreadful. This ghastly deed defies comprehension . We extend heartfelt condolences to those who have been indiscriminately attacked. A 'refuah shlema' Hebrew ( a complete healing )

But... where are Muslims when their killings (against non-Muslims) happen every month around the world? Karma is paying back now.

Terrorist attack..

mkula Mass Shooting? It's a terrorist attack...

christain terrorist group who attacked

mass shooting not terrorism ,ha ok.

The anti muslim rhetoric by the mass media must end. Hiding facts about real US intervention to the Middle East and other countries as well as covering them as “help to promote civilization” foments hate and dismisses Muslim traditions. Help the world to see these great people!

Shooting or Terrorist attack?

To anyone affected by this mindless atrocity, I grieve for you. Nobody should be afraid to attend their house of worship.

The hatred in this world is sickening. Don't be surprised if there are radical terror attacks in response to this. I don't know what they would target but still I really wouldn't be surprised if some group retaliates.

It is Christian terrorism , CNN why are you hesitating in calling it a terrorist attack?

Truly a sad news! Horrendous act! Prayers to the victims' families and survivors! NewZealand mosqueshooting MosqueAttack

Im from New Zealand, these events in Christchurch NewZealand are horrific. If you would like to show support, send ' KiaKaha ' which is Te Reo (native language of NZ, Maori) for 'Stay Strong' Love to all NZers, I know we are all standing in solidarity

It's hard being a good person in this world. Knowing there's pure evil out there like this and there's little we can do to stop them. Support of racial supremacy needs to be a punishable crime.

Muslim hater😈😢

Killing innocent people is never ever acceptable. Appalling.

call it a terrorist attack Christchurch , stop hypocrisy

I hope we are given justice for our loss

I'm not Muslim, but I'm praying for them. This was a ethno nationalist attack.

WHITE TERRORISM

As we wait for the President to comment, remember that he declared the Coast Guard terrorist who targeted journalists and Democratic leadership “a shame”.

'locations named as mosques' - have you no decency? When every. single. outlet. is reporting the actual location as actual mosques. Christchurch christchurch shooting

Anti Muslim rhetoric like anti semitism always ends up with slaughter. The far right scum who peddle their ideas of white genocide and fearmongering about immigrants and globalists have a lot to answer for.

Have you noticed that Islamists shut up it for some time?

But but but....NZ has GUN CONTROL!!!! How could this happen!!!!!! They have a LAW. LAW says no guns!!!! So no one has guns right? This isn't real then, right? If the law says no guns, and no one has guns, who had the gun? Oh yeah....criminals who don't care about the law

...even in NZ. This is a plague of social dysfunction of the highest order. Again, not a gun prob... it's a mental health/social care deficit.

Hate sucks so bad

bernamadotcom What kind of f**king reporting is this 'named as mosques' ? Why is it so difficult for you to just say that a white supremacist carried out mass shootings in 2 mosques

RIP

So now CNN will not call it as terrorism ..?. If it were a Church so it would've been so . Double standards in journalism. It's because of all the news anchors such as from CNN Muslims face alienation .

Piecefull religion

Terrible. I’m not a fan of Islam, but NOBODY deserves this.
