The Christchurch mosque shootings were two coordinated white supremacist right-wing terror attacks at Al Noor Mosque and the Linwood Islamic Centre in Christchurch, New Zealand, during Friday prayer on 15 March 2019.
At least 49 people were killed in the shootings and at least 40 others were injured. Three suspects were arrested, with one charged. The attacks were described as terrorist attacks by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and various governments internationally. One gunman was reported to be Brenton Tarrant, an Australian.
The attacks were the first mass shooting in New Zealand since the 1997 Raurimu massacre as well as the deadliest in New Zealand history, surpassing the 1943 Featherston prisoner of war camp riot.
This is the gunman’s original 17-minute footage of the attack which was initially uploaded to Facebook via a mobile app called LIVE4, which is designed to allow extreme sports enthusiasts to stream footage from personal body cameras. Copies of the footage were then downloaded and uploaded to other social media sites.
