Reports of 30 dead

 

[mellowyellow]

would seem that there may be 2 separate incidents

 

[its free real estate]

New Zealand have very loose gun laws compared to Australia.

 

[Mofra]

Horrible.
Christchurch has a history of pulling through adversity.

 

[Gough]

The Graund are blogging that more shots have been reported in the last five minutes.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

I just saw a bit of a clip.... not religious but God help everyone in the area. Wtf is wrong with people. Stay safe everyone.

 

[The Speaker]

Have read elsewhere that people were watching it livestreamed. Awful stuff.

Hopefully anyone involved is captured quickly, and we can get to figuring out which drug has twisted their mind.

 

[SunGirl89]

Are we to assume that the gunman is white?

Yep, livestreamed on Facebook.

 

[SilentHunter_]

Rules out DV.

Either Right wing terrorism or sectarian violence.

Rumour is the dude who did it is ... Australian.

 

[Malifice]

New Zealand have very loose gun laws compared to Australia.

Not for much longer I would think.

 

[The Speaker]

Brenton Tarrant, 28 years old, born in Australia.

Describes himself as "just as ordinary white man...born to a working class, low income family. My parents are from Scottish, Irish and English stock."

 

[WA ROO]

Rumour is the dude who did it is ... Australian.

I would suggest there is more than one person

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Hopefully he's shot on sight and not put on a pedestal like Breivik

 

[Malifice]

The Spinoff has established that an online post on a forum separate from Facebook, left minutes before the attack began, a man said it was time to “stop shitposting” and “carry out an attack against the invaders”.
