Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern condemns Christchurch mosque attacks
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has condemned shootings in two Christchurch mosques as an"extrodinary and unprecedented act of violence".
For now, my thoughts, and I'm sure the thoughts of all New Zealanders, are with those who have been affected, and also with their families. As soon as I leave here, I will be returning directly on a flight to Wellington. Agencies are already convening in Wellington. I will be looking to meet with them as soon as I land.
At the moment, the police, although they have stated that they have one offender in custody, they have advised that there may be other offenders. They are dealing with multiple scenes as well, so I can confirm that. I'm not in a position to give those details at this stage. Police, as I say, have apprehended someone.
