New Zealand mosque shootings kill at least 49, seriously wound more than 40

Live Mint  

Wellington: A gunman shot dead 49 people and wounded more than 40 at two New Zealand mosques, some as they were kneeling at prayer, livestreaming online some of the killings that Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern condemned as terrorism. The video footage widely circulated on social media, apparently taken by a gunman and posted online live as the attack unfolded, showed him driving to one mosque, entering it and shooting randomly at people inside. It was the worst ever mass killing in New Zealand which raised its security threat level to the highest, Ardern said, adding that "this can now only be described as a terrorist attack". All mosques in New Zealand had been asked to shut their doors and post armed guards, police said, adding they were not actively looking for any other "identified suspects".
