The Christchurch mosque shootings were two coordinated white supremacist right-wing terror attacks at Al Noor Mosque and the Linwood Islamic Centre in Christchurch, New Zealand, during Friday prayer on 15 March 2019. At least 49 people were killed in the shootings and at least 40 others were injured. Three suspects were arrested, with one charged. The attacks were described as terrorist attacks by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. The gunman was reported to be Brenton Tarrant, an Australian.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

The shootings were the deadliest attack in New Zealand since the 1943 Featherston prisoner of war camp riot where 49 people were killed.^[6] It is the first mass shooting in New Zealand since the 1997 Raurimu massacre as well as the deadliest criminal act in New Zealand history, surpassing the 1990 Aramoana massacre.^[7]^[8]^[9]

Attacks[edit]

The attacks began at the Al Noor Mosque, Riccarton and the Linwood Islamic Centre, at 13:40 on 15 March 2019 NZDT (00:40 UTC).[10][11][12]

Police found two car bombs in a vehicle.[13] The New Zealand Defence Force defused them without incident.[13][14][13]

Forty-one people were killed at or near Al Noor. Seven others died at Linwood. An additional victim died in the hospital.[15]

The guns used by the shooter were covered in white writing that named historical events, people, and motifs related to conflicts between Muslims and non-Muslims.[16] The markings on the gun included references to the 2018 Global Compact for Migration, the 732 Battle of Tours, the 1571 Battle of Lepanto, the 1805 Battle of Ivankovac, the 1877–1878 Battle of Shipka Pass, Lazar Hrebeljanović, Miloš Obilić, John Hunyadi, Șerban Cantacuzino, Ștefan cel Mare, Bajo Pivljanin, Novak Vujošević, Marko Miljanov Popović, the Fourteen Wordsand "Turkofagos" (Turk eater), a term used by Greeks during the Greek War of Independence.[17][18][19] The anti-Muslim phrase "Remove Kebab", a slogan originating from Serbia that spread globally and is used by white supremacists was written on one of the shooter's weapons.[18]
Al Noor Mosque, Riccarton[edit]

A heavily armed gunman attacked the Al Noor Mosque in Deans Avenue, Riccarton at around 13:40.[20] The Al Noor gunman livestreamed 16 minutes of his attack on Facebook Live, where he identified himself as a 28-year-old Australian white supremacist.[16][21] Moments before the shooting the perpetrator in his car played "Serbia Strong", a nationalist Serbian song from the Yugoslav Wars (1990s) celebrating Radovan Karadžić, who was found guilty of genocide against Bosnian Muslims.[22][23][18][19] Among making many other Internet culture and meme references, he also said "subscribe to PewDiePie" during his live-stream before carrying out the attack, a reference to the current PewDiePie vs T-Seriessubscriber battle.[24]

The gunman spent several minutes inside the mosque killing the attendees. He killed three people near the entrance, and multiple others inside a larger room. The gunman shot at the victims multiple times while they were already gunned down. He then left the mosque and shot people outside. He went on to retrieve another weapon from his vehicle before returning to the mosque to finish off more victims. The gunman then exited the mosque for a second time and killed a woman near the sidewalk. He fled the scene shortly thereafter.[25] The video showed that the gunman shot other civilians near the area and drove away at a high speed.[15]

Three hundred to five hundred people may have been inside the mosque, attending Friday Prayer, at the time of the shooting.[26] A neighbor of the mosque told reporters that he witnessed the shooter flee the mosque and drop what appeared to be a firearm in the driveway while he fled.[27] The neighbor said that the shooter appeared to be wearing military-style clothes. After the shooting ended, he went inside to help the victims.[25]
Linwood Islamic Center[edit]

A second shooting occurred at the Linwood Islamic Center.[28][29] This mosque is 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) away from Al Noor.[25] Early reports spoke of "a multiple, simultaneous attack",[30] although later on one suspect was charged for the "planned" murder at both sites.[31] Seven people were killed inside the mosque and three outside.[32] The shooting was interrupted when a Muslim worshiper wrestled a "rifle or shotgun" away from an attacker and used it in self-defense.[33][34]

The New Zealand Police initially declined to confirm the number of fatalities. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was the first to announce that 40 people died in the attacks. This figure was later revised to 49 people, including 41 at the Al Noor Mosque and 7 at the Linwood Islamic Centre.[41] As of 21:00 NZDT on the evening of the attacks, one person had died from their wounds at Christchurch Hospital, and 48 people were being treated for gunshot wounds, 20 of whom were in a serious condition.[11]

Wahidullah Waissi, the Ambassador of Afghanistan to Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji, stated on Twitter that three Afghans were injured in the attacks.[37] A statement released by the Malaysian Foreign Affairs Ministry noted that two Malaysians were treated in hospital for their injuries. Retno Marsudi, Indonesia's Foreign Minister, stated that six Indonesians were inside the Al Noor Mosque at the time of the attack, of whom three were confirmed to have escaped.[38]

The honorary consul of Bangladesh, based in Auckland, confirmed that three Bangladeshis were known to have been killed, and four or five injured. The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that two Jordanians had been killed and eight had been injured. Statements were released by other foreign ministries detailing the number of known injuries, including four from Pakistan, three from Turkey, and two from Indonesia. The Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Wellington stated that two Saudis were among the injured.[35]

Police Commissioner Mike Bush initially said that three men and one woman had been arrested in connection with the attacks at the two mosques.[13][44] All four were said to hold extremist views.[45][46] One of the suspects was earlier reported as having been wearing explosives. However, Bush rejected this. He also denied initial reports of a shooting at the Christchurch Hospital.[47][48] Officials believe no other suspects were involved.[32] The police later said one of the reported suspects had no relation to the attacks.[49] Only one suspect is charged with murder, while the role of two armed suspects is still being determined. The police have not stated whether the same suspect was responsible for both shootings.[50]

Before the shooting, Tarrant posted a manifesto titled "The Great Replacement" (a reference to the white genocide conspiracy theory and its French variant) on the image board 8chan outlining his attack.[51][52][53][54] The manifesto says he chose New Zealand as the target two years earlier and had been planning the attack for three months.[55] In the manifesto he describes himself as a "racist" and "eco-fascist" concerned with global warming.[56][57] It expresses several anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant sentiments including hate speech against migrants, white supremacist rhetoric, and calls for Muslims "invading his land" to be killed.[19][58] The manifesto includes references to high profile right-wing figures, internet memes and encourages people online to agree with the shooting and to create more memes.[21] These elements, along with the live streaming video, in which its viewers had cheered the attack on, gave the appearance that the attack was trolling, designed to create disagreements and anger between different groups.[59][60]

The author of the manifesto also labels himself a "kebab removalist", in reference to a meme on the internet regarding the genocide by the Bosnian Serb army against Bosnian Muslims.[21] Motivations for the attack are mentioned in the manifesto such as revenge for European civilians that were casualties in Islamic terror attacks within Europe.[51] In particular, the writer repeatedly mentions Ebba Åkerlund, a victim in the 2017 Stockholm truck attack.[51] Her name is also present on one of the guns in white writing. The shooter's Twitter account, which has since been suspended, showed firearms with the neo-Nazi symbol Black Sun and the Fourteen Words(which appeared in the manifesto), as well as the names of victims of terror attacks in the West scrawled on them.[61]
Aftermath[edit]

Survivors of the incidents were transported to nearby hospitals. Forty-eight people, including young children, with gunshot wounds were treated at Christchurch Hospital,[62][63] with more being transported to other hospitals within Christchurch and nationally.[64] Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) activated its mass casualty plan.[62] A spokesperson said that they had found two improvised explosive devices in a single car and had disarmed one.[65]

The live stream was re-posted on many video streaming services including LiveLeak and YouTube.[66] Police, Muslim advocacy groups and government agencies urged anyone who finds the footage to take it down or report it.[67] Some media organisations in Australia broadcast parts of the live stream, up to the point the gunman entered the building, despite pleas from police not to show it.[68] Facebook, YouTube, Reddit and Twitter stated they were working diligently to remove the video of the attack from their platforms, and stated that they would also remove anything supporting the attacks.[69] Still, copies of the video were continually being uploaded on YouTube and Twitter.[70]

A number of schools near to the incidents were locked down in the wake of the event.[44] School strikers at the Global School Strike rally in Cathedral Square, near the two attacks, were advised to either seek refuge in public buildings or go home by police.[71][72] Authorities advised all mosques in the country to close until further notice and have sent police to secure all locations.[73] All Air New Zealand Link flights departing Christchurch Airport were cancelled as a precaution due to the absence of security screening.[74]

The Officials Committee for Domestic and External Security Co-ordination (ODESC) was convened to coordinate the government response. Prime minister Jacinda Ardern, who was on public engagements in New Plymouth, returned to Wellington by air to receive official advice.[75]

The third Test cricket match between New Zealand and Bangladesh, scheduled to be played at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch from 16 March, was cancelled because of security concerns.[76] The Bangladeshi team were about to attend the Al Noor Mosque and were moments from entering the building when the incident began.[77][78]The players then fled on foot to Hagley Oval.[79]

In Dunedin, the New Zealand Police's Armed Offenders Squad searched a house in Andersons Bay after the Christchurch mosque shooter indicated on social media that he had originally planned to target the city's Al Huda Mosque. Police have cordoned off part of the surrounding street and evacuated nearby residents. The University of Otago also postponed its 150th anniversary street parade which was scheduled for 16 March in response to security concerns.[80][81]
Reactions[edit]

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern called the incident an "act of extreme and unprecedented violence" and said "this is one of New Zealand's darkest days."[82][83][84] She also described it as a well planned terrorist attack.[64] For the first time in its history the terror threat level was lifted to high.[32] Christchurch mayor Lianne Dalziel never thought something like this could happen in New Zealand, saying "everyone is shocked".[64] Queen Elizabeth II said she was "deeply saddened" by the attack: "Prince Philip and I send our condolences to the families and friends of those who have lost their lives."[85]

Many politicians and world leaders also expressed their sorrow at the attacks.[86] Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison expressed support for New Zealand and condemned the shootings as a "violent, extremist, right-wing terrorist attack." He confirmed that an Australian had been detained as a suspect in connection with the attack.[87][88][89] British Prime Minister Theresa May described the incident as a "horrifying terrorist attack", and said "my thoughts are with all of those affected by this sickening act of violence". It was also reported that the Home Secretary would hold talks with senior counterterrorism experts to review security at British mosques in the wake of the attack.[85] Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed "deepest condolences" and stated that "Canada remembers too well the sorrow we felt when a senseless attack on the Centre culturel islamique de Québec in Ste-Foy claimed the lives of many innocent people gathered in prayer", referencing the Quebec City mosque shooting in 2017.[90] U.S. President Donald Trump extended his "warmest sympathy and best wishes...to the people of New Zealand", and he and the FBI offered assistance to New Zealand.[91][92][93][94] Former President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton offered condolences, and security at mosques around the United States was increased in response to the attacks.[95][96]

Swedish YouTuber PewDiePie, who was referenced by the perpetrators during the attack, tweeted: "Just heard news of the devastating reports from New Zealand Christchurch. I feel absolutely sickened having my name uttered by this person. My heart and thoughts go out to the victims, families and everyone affected by this tragedy."[24]
