A video shows the chilling calculation of the mosque gunman who killed at least 41 people.
An image taken from one of the alleged shooters' video. By Alex Horton Alex Horton General assignment reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow March 15 at 1:27 PM The gunman prepared for nearly everything. His helmet was cinched tight, his rifle magazines full, and a small cache of firearms were loaded into the car. The only thing he didn’t appear to plan was a route. A GPS squawked to the gunman as he navigated the calm Christchurch streets toward Al Noor Mosque.
. In the video, the gunman parks in an alley facing Deans Avenue and glances at the passenger seat, where three firearms rest. A semiautomatic rifle covered in white-nationalist slogans is slung on his right shoulder. He activates a strobe light on the weapon, in an apparent attempt to illuminate and disorient his victims.
The rifle-mounted strobe flickers on a group of people shot after they fled toward two corners, where they were trapped.The shooter doesn’t say anything as he navigates the corridors, shooting at people and picking up magazines he drops. Some are bound together to make reloading faster. In total, he spends a little less than 200 seconds in the mosque, firing dozens of times before heading outside again to shoot at bystanders. In one gruesome moment, an injured woman crawls and cries for help after she falls into the road.
