Mass shootings at New Zealand mosques...

Four working in unison. At least one Australian (male), one female. Machine gun was used. IEDs in place but not used.
NZ Govt has advised mosques to close for the time being. Flights cancelled. T'would seem the police have reason to believe this isn't the full extent of the planned attacks.
Comments by the NZ Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern---
We were not a target because we are a safe harbour for those who hate. We were not chosen for this act of violence because we condone racism; because we are an enclave for extremism. We were chosen for the very fact that we are none of these things: because we represent diversity, kindness, compassion; a home for those who share our values; refuge for those who need it. And those values, I can assure you, will not and cannot be shaken by this attack.
NZ flags at half mast - Australian PM (Scott Morrison) requested the same of Aus flags.
N.Z. reviewing gun laws - which are kind of lax by comparison with Australia's.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

I believe that it is listed as terrorism in the NZ statutes. Whether it is or not, it is an act of terrorism as disgusting as any other act of terrorism.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

The one shooter that's been identified seems like a real nutjob:
Unfortunately, he may get his wish of people using this shooting to ratchet up the gun control debate.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

This type of thing is why my church has an armed "Safety Team" of which I'm a member of. An active shooter would get a big surprise at my church...too bad those worshipers in the NZ Mosques didn't have that option."What has the Church gained if it is popular, but there is no conviction, no repentance, no power?" - A.W. Tozer
"... there are two parties in Washington, the stupid party and the evil party, who occasionally get together and do something both stupid and evil, and this is called bipartisanship." - Everett Dirksen

Ned Price, who is NBC News National Security Analyst who gained notoriety for his op-ed piece in the Washington Post which outlined his decision to retire from the CIA rather than work in a Donald Trump Administration, was quick to blame Trump while a guest on MSNBC Live With Craig Melvin this morning saying that he "has provided a lot of fodder for people like this" and "This is a president who has given plenty of rhetorical ammunition."
Similar statements were made CBS correspondent Nikki Battiste on CBS This Morning. She also blamed the Second Amendment, which last I heard, was not in effect in New Zealand, but hey, never let the facts get in the way of a good rant.
Though these both paled in comparison to the folks at CBS in their attempts to outdo each other blaming Trump starting with host Alisyn Camerota followed by the network's chief political correspondent Dana Bash and political analyst John Avlon.
