New Zealand PM Ardern described the suspects detained after the deadly attacks on mosques in Christchurch as having “extremist views.” Speaking in Wellington, Ardern said their views had “no place in New Zealand.”
All schools in Christchurch, a city of around 375,000 people, were placed on lockdown as the situation unfolded. Residents were told to stay indoors.Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Friday that he was advised that one of those in custody is an Australian national, and he condemned the attack"by an extremist right-wing violent terrorist."
The manifesto includes anti-Muslim rhetoric, far-right and far-left political sentiment and references to radicalization via the internet. A member of the mosque told local media at the scene that he was in a side room where the imam was speaking and it was peaceful and quiet when"suddenly, the shooting started." He did not see the shooter, but saw people running.
