A well planned shooting rampage took the lives of at least 50 worshippers during Friday afternoon prayers at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, shocking a nation with little history of major gun violence.

Dozens more people were injured in the shootings, which appeared to be motivated by white supremacist ideals and were streamed live, in part, on Facebook . The site moved quickly to take down the grim footage, but internet users moved faster, disseminating the video across social platforms.

The video showed a man calling out, Hello, brother, as the armed shooter approached the entrance to one of the mosques and opened fire.

This is and will be one of New Zealands darkest days, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said at a press conference.

An Australian man, Brenton Harrison Tarrant, 28, was arrested and charged with murder on Friday. At a news conference, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison called the suspect, whose name has not been officially released, an extremist, right-wing, violent terrorist. The man appears to have posted a link online to a lengthy manifesto packed with white supremacist references and trollish remarks shortly before the attack.

Authorities have two other people in custody; one has been charged with intent to incite hostility or ill-will. Explosive devices were also found attached to a car nearby.

The two mosques Al Noor and Linwood, about three miles apart were full of people on Friday, generally the busiest day of worship.

Among the dead are grandparents, married couples, parents and young children. Some arrived as refugees; others were Kiwi-born. This post will be updated as more of the victims names become known.
