killed 40 people and broadcast live on Facebook

The man, a 28-year-old Australian, entered a mosque in the New Zealand city of Christchurch and shot parishioners, killing 40 people, while streaming live on Facebook.

The sudden killings of lone gunmen have become a very sad reality every day, first in the United States, then in many other parts of the world. But this time, a chilling condiment was added: the terrorist of the New Zealand mbadacre was filmed at all times and transmitted the complete sequence by Facebook.

The alleged perpetrator, a man identified as Brenton Tarrant, aged 28 and born in Australia, had previously posted on a website a manifesto in which he described himself and explained the racist and xenophobic motives of the attack.

"I am only an ordinary white man, from an ordinary family who has decided to take a stand for the future of his people," he writes. In the photos, you can see how the man arrives at the Christchurch mosque, takes two guns with inscripts from the trunk of his car and, after entering the garden, he starts firing on the parishioners who were standing at the door. This is how the 17 minutes of terror begin.

The point of view of the camera is reminiscent of "shooters", video games in the first person. But the images show no game, but a mbadacre against innocent and unarmed people.

All the bloody raids could be tracked live (or later, while the video was circulating through the networks) to the horror of those who encountered the images. In a few minutes, Facebook Disable the video but it was too late. The images began to multiply in the networks.

Then Youtube was also in charge of downloading videos that several users had posted on the network after making Facebook. The video ends with the escape of the car. The escape does not prevent the terrorist from overwhelming one of his victims. Then he escapes at full speed.

New Zealand premier Jacinda Ardern confirmed that 40 people had been killed. Thirty of them died inside Masjid Al Noor mosque during Tarrant attack. The remaining 10 were killed in the second attack, which took place at Linwood Masjid Mosque.
