Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has confirmed that one of the four people taken into custody in New Zealand’s mosque shootings is an Australian. He said Australian authorities were assisting with the investigation.
Morrison said Australians were shocked, appalled and outraged by the attack. He described the gunman as “an extremist, right-wing, violent terrorist.”
Officials have urged anyone in central Christchurch to stay indoors. A few Bangladesh cricket team members who had visited the mosque were able to escape unhurt. The players just started running when they heard the shots. I don’t know how many (gunshots) there were. This happened at about 1.45pm,” a team coach said.
