BREAKING: Police say death toll has increased to 49 in N.Z. mosque shootings
Bush told a news conference that a man has been charged with murder and will appear in court tomorrow. He would not say whether the same shooter was responsible for both attacks.
Forty people were killed in Friday’s attack and four people were taken into custody, including one Australian. Ardern said none had been on any terror watch list. A man who claimed responsibility for the shootings said in a manifesto that he was a 28-year-old white Australian who came to New Zealand only to plan and train for the attack.Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has confirmed that one of the four people taken into custody in New Zealand’s mosque shootings is an Australian.
The Indonesian Embassy in Wellington sent a team to Christchurch that is coordinating with New Zealand officials.It said it strongly condemns the attack. “The government and the people of Indonesia convey deep condolences to the victims and their families.”New Zealand police say they’re not aware of other suspects beyond the four who have been arrested after two mosque shootings but they can’t be certain.
New Zealand Police Commissioner Mike Bush said anyone thinking of going to a mosque should stay put and close their doors. Ardern said at a Friday afternoon news conference, “what has happened here is an extraordinary and unprecedented act of violence.”
