New Zealand Shooting: 49 Dead In Terrorist Attack At Two Mosques; Three In Custody
15 March, 2019 | Posted by Stacey under World News |
Forty-nine people have been shot dead and 48 injured in attacks targeting Muslims at two mosques during Friday prayers in Christchurch, in the worst mass shooting in New Zealand’s history.
The prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, described the atrocity as a terrorist attack and said Friday had been “one of New Zealand’s darkest days”. Police commissioner Mike Bush said explosive devices in a car had been defused and urged all mosques across the country to close their doors for the time being.
A man in his late 20s was arrested and charged with murder. He will appear in court on Saturday morning. Two other armed suspects were being held in custody. Police said they were trying to determine how they might be involved.
Police have not named any of the suspects, but a man identifying himself as Brenton Tarrant, a 28-year-old born in Australia, broadcast livestream footage on Facebook showing him driving to a mosque, entering and shooting randomly at people inside.
New Zealand’s entire police arsenal and personnel were deployed throughout the country and en masse in Christchurch, the South Island’s largest city, which is known to have an active white-supremacist subculture.
Hotels in the inner city stationed security guards at their entrances, and armed police protected landmarks of significance, including the courthouse and Christchurch hospital, which is believed to have been a further target. A Christchurch spokesperson told local media police were concerned the suspects had plans to target the victims of the mosque attack as they were transported to hospital.
A “manifesto” was posted online before the attacks, in which the suspected gunman espoused far-right and anti-immigrant ideology.

Félicité Tomlinson, 18, Sister Of One Direction Star Louis Tomlinson Dead From Apparent Heart Attack
15 March, 2019 | Posted by Stacey under Celebrities |
One Direction star Louis Tomlinson’s sister Félicité has been found dead at home from a suspected heart attack at just 18.
It comes after his mum Johannah died from leukaemia in 2016.
Louis has been left “devastated and distraught” by the death of Félicité, who was last night praised as “loveable, caring, bright and beautiful” by sources close to the One Direction singer.
She collapsed after a suspected heart attack at her fourth-floor studio apartment in Earls Court, West London, on Wednesday lunchtime.
A person who was with the aspiring fashion designer and social media influencer called 999.
Two ambulance crews dashed to the address, along with an experienced paramedic and a single responder medic in a car.
Despite extensive efforts to resuscitate Félicité she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police were immediately alerted and attended the address as a precaution to establish whether there were any suspicious circumstances.
The death of Félicité — known as Fizzy — is being treated as “unexplained” at this stage.
A full post-mortem examination will take place and toxicology tests will be carried out.
It is understood police found no signs of drugs at the address.
The person who called 999, who has not been identified, was spoken to by officers.
A Met Police spokesman said: “Police were called by the London Ambulance Service at 12.52pm to a residential address in SW5.”
The London Ambulance Service said: “We were called at 12.51pm.
“We sent two ambulance crews, a single responder in a car and an advanced paramedic to the scene.
“Sadly, despite efforts of our medics, a person died.”
Louis, 27, who was working in London, was informed of the death on Wednesday night. Police yesterday notified members of the family from Doncaster, South Yorks.
The X Factor judge was extremely close to his sister. They regularly saw each other in London.
Last night a family source said: “Félicité was an absolutely adored young woman who was loved by Louis and her whole family.
“They are all totally devastated, as you can imagine.
“She had so many friends and was such a positive happy person. It’s a massive loss to the world.
“She was a loveable, caring, bright, passionate, popular and beautiful young lady.”
Devastated Louis has pulled out of a performance on Comic Relief as he grieves.
He had been due to perform his new single live as one of the headline performers on the BBC1 charity show tonight.
In a sad twist that song, called Two Of Us, is a tribute to his mum Johannah Deakin, who died aged 43.
It includes the lyrics: “You’ll never know how much I miss you. The day that they took you, I wish it was me instead.”
The singer said: “Louis is obviously distraught at the loss of his sister.
“He has cancelled all promo, which includes his performance on Comic Relief.
“It’s just the biggest tragedy and everyone wants to be there for Louis, who is the leader of his family since the loss of his mother and always there for all his siblings.”
Félicité, who had 404,000 Twitter followers, moved to the capital to develop her career in fashion and social media projects. She was also planning to write a book.
