What We Know So Far
- There are "multiple fatalities" after shootings at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, police said.
- A suspect has been taken into custody but police "believe there may be other offenders."
- A gunman appears to have live-streamed video of the attack online and left a lengthy racist manifesto where he outlined a white supremacist motivation for the attack and described the victims as “invaders."
- The writer of the manifesto identified himself as a 28-year-old white man born in Australia.
- All mosques in the country have been asked to “shut their doors” until further notice.
- Residents in the city have been asked to remain inside and climate change rallies taking place across the city have been evacuated.
- "This is one of New Zealand's darkest days," said prime minister Jacinda Ardern.
