Earlier in March this year, at least 50 people, including nine Pakistanis, were killed after a gunman opened fire at two mosques in the New Zealand city.

The gunman live-streamed footage of his rampage to Facebook, filmed with a head-mounted camera. The footage showed him firing indiscriminately at men, women and children from close range inside the Al-Noor mosque.
