Christchurch shootings: gunman live-streamed footage of his rampage to Facebook - BBC News

One gunman live-streamed footage of his rampage to Facebook, filmed with a head-mounted camera. The footage showed him firing indiscriminately at men, women and children from close range inside the Al-Noor mosque. Police called on the public not to share the "extremely distressing" footage online. Facebook said it had removed the gunman's Facebook and Instagram accounts and was working to remove any copies of the footage. The suspect was also believed to have published a manifesto outlining his intentions, in which he identified himself as a 28-year-old born in Australia and espoused far right and anti-immigrant ideology. Police Commissioner Bush confirmed that the suspect who was charged was not known in advance to either New Zealand or Australian security services. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern called it one of New Zealand's "darkest days". "It is clear that this can now only be described as a terrorist attack," she said.
