The man is understood to have posted a manifesto online and taken to Twitter with anti-Muslim rants about birthrates and white genocide.
The scenes appear to have been filmed with a camera mounted on his chest. He flees the scene in his car in a relatively calm manner, laughing at times during the drive. He later shoots seemingly randomly on the street and returns to the car before heading back into the mosque again and repeating the process. The gunman begins the video by saying “let’s get this party started” and listens to American civil war music on his way to the shooting.Ĭarrying a number of automatic rifles, two jerry cans and a bag with a ‘PROUDLY KIWI AS’ logo, the gunman stops his car near the mosque, takes a gun out of the boot, then walks into the building and opens fire.
Photographs on the man’s Twitter page, which has since been taken down by the platform, show weapons which match the ones used in the video, scrawled with the names of infamous mass shooters
