| Victim On Stretcher |
New Zealand police is yet to release report on the group that is behind this dubious attack.
New Zealand commissioner Mike Bush said two improvised explosive devices were found on one of the attackers vehicles.
This was slightly different to previous statements that multiple vehicles had been found with explosives attached.
One witness, who did not want to be named, told CNN that he was driving by the mosque but pulled over to help when he saw people lying on the ground outside. ''I was driving by, I saw people lying in the ground so I pulled over and then once I got out of my truck I heard all the gunshots going off,'' he said. ''So am just trying to help them and one guy just looked like he was gone.''
He said he saw a man with a ''with his 3 or 4-year old daughter'' who had been shot in the back.
''He was screaming like get her to the hospital and the ambulance couldn't come in until it was secured so I just got my truck and loaded up him, and his daughter, and this other guy had been shot in the leg, and took them to the hospital,'' he said.

| Security Personnel |
While we are writing this report, we have just confirmed that 49 people have been killed, and at least 20 seriously injured, after shootings at two mosques in the New Zealand city of Christchurch.
New Zealand police say they have arrested three men and one woman over the attacks. An account believed to belong to one of the attackers featured a link to an 87-page manifesto filled with anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim ideas and explanations prior to the attack. New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern has described the attack as an ''unprecedented act of violence.''
