Dozens killed after gunman opens fire in two Christchurch mosques
Forty people have been shot dead and 20 injured in attacks at two mosques during Friday afternoon prayers in Christchurch in what is the worst mass shooting in New Zealands history.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said it was one of New Zealands darkest days as police uncovered multiple explosive devices attached to cars and commissioner Mike Bush urged all mosques across the country to close their doors for the time being.
Four people were taken into custody three men and one woman for what Ardern described as a terrorist attack. One person was later released. Ardern condemned the ideology of the people behind the shootings, saying: You may have chosen us but we utterly reject and condemn you.
New Zealands threat level has been raised from low to high and none of the suspects were on terrorism watchlists, Ardern said.

No. The man adored by the NRA & tells biker gangs to rise up to defend him is the greater threat. nt
