    I work in the city

    Police have been in contact and told us there may be multiple shooters in the central city and to stay indoors until further notice.

    Anyone with a license can get a semi auto in NZ. My .22 is semi auto.

    Otherwise, I guess it is the same way gangs get them, however that may be

    No, you could walk into Police station, do the written test and with two references that do get checked up on along with your proof of safe storage, then you gen buy any semi auto you wish

    @Paekakboyz Is it some type of extremist? (The other option was it was a dispute gone wrong)

    you can get through to a stream that works at the moment - mods feel free to delete if needed.

    But yeah, seems like its one of the dudes. ffs he says 'subscribe to pewdepie' at the start.

    @Sneakdefreak not sure on motivation but from the wee bit I checked out it was genuine footage - at least whatever was streamed before he went off-air etc. No idea if it's still ongoing or.

    Fuck man, the mindset to actual go and shot human beings... let alone kids 😞

    Friday just took a turn for the worse.

    So multiple people shooting, and your first thought is terrorists, although shooting at Mosques puts a slight twist on it...?

    Crazy shit.

    It was a facebook live video that got scrubbed. People downloaded it and uploaded elsewhere

    But yeah, lets not posts link or any hints on where to find it

    ChCh has a rep for white extremists, at least when I was growing up, but who knows right now.

    @Sneakdefreak well yeah, and while they fit the bill of 'terrorists' if they are responsible it makes it a bit different to what most expect I guess

    This sounds more like a military person(s) as they have fully automatic weapons and flak jackets?

    @canefan I didn't even think of it like that, but yes, this sucks for Canterburians!

    @Hooroo

    news@newshub.co.nz "I could hear a whole bunch of popping, I thought it was fireworks," said Christchurch resident Alex Hill.

    "Someone said they counted 29 [shots,]" he told Newshub.

    Another man told Magic Talk he saw people running out of the mosque, and that he had seen a man in military gear with a high powered gun.

    "I heard what I thought was a real loud backfire of a car," the man told Magic Talk.

    "And the next minute I turned to my right and just saw people running out of the mosque, and obviously just a couple of more shots and a lady fell over and then a guy in full military gear with what looked like a really high powered gun pointing down the road firing"

    "Full camo gear and he didn't look like he had a care in the world"
