Dozens of people were killed and many others were seriously injured Friday afternoon when two mosques were attacked in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Brenton Tarrant, a 28-year-old Australian, has been charged with murder after the mass shootings, and two others were arrested on suspicion of possession of firearms. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the attack was perpetrated by suspects with "extremist views."
Authorities declined to discuss the potential motives behind the attack. But just before the attack, a social media account that is believed to be linked to the gunman posted a link to an 87-page manifesto that was filled with anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim ideas and explanations for an attack.
