Suspect in New Zealand mosque massacre doesn’t appear mentally unstable and will represent himself, ex-attorney says.

At a news conference, Gun City owner David Tipple said the store sold four guns and ammunition to Tarrant through a “police-verified online mail order process”. ‘Emotional responses’ Tipple said he felt no responsibility for the tragedy and refused to say whether he believed gun ownership laws should change in New Zealand.
