(New Zealand) Christchurch mosque shooting sees armed police deployed and schools in lockdown

There are reports up to a dozen people have been injured in a shooting at the Al Noor mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Police have confirmed they are responding to a "critical incident".

All Christchurch schools are in lockdown and witnesses have reported multiple injuries.

The mosque was reportedly busy due to Friday prayers.

Witness Len Peneha said he saw a man dressed in black enter the Masjid Al Noor mosque in central Christchurch about 1:45pm and then heard dozens of shots, followed by people running from the mosque in terror.

Mr Peneha, who has lived next door to the mosque for about five years, said the gunman ran out of the mosque, dropped what appeared to be a semi-automatic weapon in his driveway, and fled.

Mr Peneha said he then went into the mosque to try and help.

"I saw dead people everywhere. There were three in the hallway, at the door leading into the mosque, and people inside the mosque," he said.

"It's unbelievable nutty. I don't understand how anyone could do this to these people, to anyone. It's ridiculous."..

That’s a filthy comment, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

The man claiming to be the shooter identified themselves as Brenton Tarrant - a white, 28-year-old Australian-born man.

In a 74-page manifesto published online he outlined who he was and why he carried out the massacre at the Christchurch mosque.

A white supremacist from Australia butchered Muslims in their house of worship.

Everyone here should be aware we are being monitored and we give a message anytime we it seems endorse violence. We should always conduct ourselves in a civilized manner. Let the liberals and Muslims do their thing but we should be above that. We all have to answer to God. I saw the video. It was cold blooded murder.
