Read New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's full address here following the Christchurch mosque shooting.
"Presently, the police do have one suspect in custody. However, there could be others involved. Also, there are multiple scenes involved in this incident as well. And police will be giving more details as they can as the situation unfolds.
But as I say, please remain in lockdown. We are potentially still dealing with an evolving situation. And again, as I say, across multiple sites. Please be assured, though, the police are actively managing the situation. Christchurch Hospital is dedicated to treating those who are arriving at the hospital as we speak as well.
But you have confirmed it's not an isolated incident? There were multiple areas where this took place? No, I'm not currently in a position to confirm the number of deaths or injuries. But I have to acknowledge, people can see images live from Christchurch, it will be obvious to them that this is a significant event, and I can tell you now this is, and will be, one of New Zealand's darkest days."
