Christchurch shooting: death toll rises to 50

The Hindu  

The death toll in the attack on two mosques in the New Zealand city of Christchurch rose to 50 after investigators found another victim as they removed bodies from the crime scenes, the country’s police commissioner said on Sunday. “It is with sadness that I advise that number of people who died in this event has now risen to 50,” Mr. Bush said. Mr. Bush said police did not believe that three other people arrested on Friday were involved in the attack. Friday’s attack, which Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern labelled as terrorism, was the worst ever peacetime mass killing in New Zealand and the country had raised its security threat level to the highest.
