An immigrant-hating white nationalist armed with at least two assault rifles and a shotgun is the suspect in the deaths of at least 49 worshippers attending Friday prayers at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.
He wore a helmet camera and live-streamed the massacre on social media. He also posted a 74-page manifesto on social media identifying himself as a 28-year-old Australian who was out to avenge attacks in Europe perpetrated by Muslims.
The gunman acted alone and says he chose New Zealand to show that even the most remote parts of the world were not free of “mass immigration.”
