A man named Brenton Tarrant used Facebook Live to record himself as he shot up a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand.
While police haven’t released the name of the shooter, a video showing a gunman opening fire at the mosque was published on the page of a man named Brenton Tarrant.
The extremely disturbing Facebook live video, filmed in the style of a first-person role-playing shooter game (like Call of Duty), shows a man walking toward the mosque through a gate, and then up to the front door. You can see him pointing the gun at the door and he starts shooting. Once inside, the man then walks past a dead body as screams erupt before he opens fire again, shooting several more people in a hall and then walking into a larger communal area where he shoots more people. The gunman stalked the mosque rooms, firing repeatedly and stopping several times to re-load as bodies lay crumpled on the ground. You can see writing on the gunman’s rifle as he walks around randomly shooting people. The horrific video hasn’t been confirmed by authorities, but Gossip On This has watched the footage and it matches earlier reports that the gunman taped the attack.
