How do you call this terrible action in terms of journalism? For God’s sake, tell me what is ‘active shooter’ ?

I’m a New Zealander living in New Zealand. Worst day in New Zealand’s history. It has become one of the worlds darkest days.

Deep state catalyzed it. They’re in panic over the rancid truths now being exposed.

The international media will never call it a terrorist attack But on other hand if incident like this occurs in muslim country International Media shouts Terrorist Attack occurred ..... Our policys is defensive 😥 We should show aggression to world that v are Muslims r peacfull

😢😢😢😢

Rahowa

There might have been one shooter, maybe more. But there were CERTAINLY dozens who knew about this ahead of time.

Right-wing is as right-wing does. Their violence never ends.

💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

Let that shooter rot in prison for his entire life.
