‘I Saw Dead People Everywhere’: Multiple Casualties in New Zealand Mosque Shootings
CHRISTCHURCH CITY, New Zealand—Multiple people were dead after at least one rifle-wielding gunman opened fire on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, during Friday prayers—leaving behind horrific scenes of carnage.
“There were bodies all over me,” one survivor told the Christchurch media.
Police said they were aware of “distressing footage” of the incident that appeared to have been filmed and streamed by a suspect, who wore military-style gear and mowed down men, women and children.
