Hey, look, a mass shooting that didn't happen in America.At least 49 people were killed and another 48 injured Friday in a mass shooting at two mosques in the New Zealand city of Christchurch. A 28-year-old man is in custody. He has been charged with murder and will appear in court Saturday morning. Two other people remain in custody as police try to determine their connection to, or possible involvement in, the attack. The shooter targeted two mosques in Christchurch: the Al Noor Mosque, where 41 people were killed, and another at the Linwood Mosque, where seven people died. One person died in the hospital, according to police. Friday is the Muslim holy day, when many practicing Muslims attend worship services at mosques.

Oh, FFS. :disgust:The suspected gunman who killed dozens of worshippers inside two New Zealand mosques is an Australian man who reportedly posted a 74-page manifesto that called Donald Drumpf as a “symbol of white supremacy” before the shooting. According to Yahoo News, the alleged killer who live-streamed the attack identified himself as Brenton Tarrant. He claimed that he was motivated by “far-right extremism he saw in the United States to carry out the attack at Al Noor Mosque.”
