Yeah, I've been looking at stuff about it.
This link identifies the gunman who live streamed the attack on Twitter, and shows some of the footage in the lead up.

Interestingly, NZ gun laws are a lot less strict than ours. You can legally purchase semi automatic rifles, provided the magazine size is limited (something easily overcome) and while you need a gun license there is no registration of weapons.
The shooter seems to be claiming he did this in response to Muslim violence and their "occupation" of what were "white" lands. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Hearing that he came back into the mosque looking for survivors is just so awful. I don't know how many people were there, but you'd be expecting casualties in double figures at least. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

Yep. No doubt of that, deliberately planned it and the location for maximum media impact _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

I saw the 'go pro' live stream. I see at least 30 people killed. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

A lot of people have seen it, it's apparently pretty disturbing
Just heard on radio that 4 people now in custody, 1 of them Australian. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Watching the ABC news channel which has decided not to show the social media. No such problem with the Herald-slum which is already full of inaccuracies. The Bangladeshi cricket team was not going to the nor had been to the mosque. They were walking from their hotel to the cricket ground. The mosque was nearby.
Australian pollies sending out twitter feeds withe normal thoughts and prayers rhetoric. _________________ Annoying opposition supporters since 1967. |

The perpetrator who live streamed his attack is stated to be Australian born.
Another mosque however has reportedly been attacked and this seemingly may have been carried out by another shooter. _________________ He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD! |

Its certainly hit the news. Flicking through it live reports on Russian tv, Asia (singapore based ) news, British, French, German and even Fox. Al Jazeera has picked it up. Although I suspect Fox will have some piece about people not being armed so they can respond. _________________ Annoying opposition supporters since 1967. |
