Videos Related to the Mosque Shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand *CONTENT WARNING: Many of these photos contain screenshots of the video allegedly taken by the shooter, which show bodies* So I tried too get out and I pushed myself at the back where my car was, and from there I heard the shooting, it went on six minutes or more, I could hear screaming and crying, I saw some people drop dead, some people were running away, I was in a wheelchair, so I couldn’t get anywhere. It was at the moment I realised things were really serious. It started in the main room… I was in the side room, so I didn’t see who was shooting but I saw that some people were running out to my room where I was in, I saw some people had blood on their body and some people were limping.
It was very peaceful, calm and quiet, as it is when the sermon starts, you could hear a pin drop. It’s ridiculous.”Īnother witness gave a more lengthy and graphic description of what happened to The Guardian: I don’t understand how anyone could do this to these people, to anyone. There were three in the hallway, at the door leading into the mosque, and people inside the mosque.
