There’s been a shooting in the east of chch now, bunch of cops flying past out that way now
-
This is bullshit squared.
-
Would never have put money on this happening in New Zealand.

How did this person get a semi-automatic or automatic rifle?

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
-
@Hooroo Do you need a special licence, like for farm work or something?

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
-
FWIW reports of up to 30 shot
-
Reports are now one person dead. Bloody heck, this is awful.
-
what in the actual fuck.
-
Chch hospital effectively closed - all appointments cancelled no one in or out unless its an emergency
-
Do they know how many casualties?
-
WTF...
-
Police have caught someone but there may be more than one...
-
Holy shit, just found an actual live stream from one of the shooters
Didn't actually watch anything as not interested in seeing people shot, but wtf
-
@Paekakboyz From one of the shooters?
Mental! Be interesting to see what label this attack attracts.
-
@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.
-
Mate I don't want to see it.
-
@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.
-
@Sneakdefreak yeah I noped out pretty much immediately.

Surely the police show get this stream so they can work out where they are?!?
-
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
-
All the schools are on lockdown according to the police.
No way do we want this shit here. These people can fuck right off.
-
Thoughts and prayers to those in Chch. You'd think the city has suffered enough

Crazy shit.
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!

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"
-
@Sneakdefreak yeah that goes back many years. My cousin got in with a really bad skinhead crew when he lived down that ways
Never shook that mindset unfortunately
-
Seeing reports there is an active shooter at the hospital also?? WTAF??
