at least 49 people have been killed
and dozens more injured
after a gunman opened fire on two
mosques in new zealand.
men, women and children
were at friday prayers
in christchurch when a man walked
in and began firing,
filming and broadcasting it
all live on social media.
everybodyjust ran to the back doors
just to save themselves.
i answered the phone and i said
to her, "your husband has been
shot outside the mosque,
and don't come here to deans avenue,
you won't get through but go
to the hospital and wait for him."
families wait for news as the list
of missing people grows —
syrian refugees are thought to be
among the dead.
new zealand's prime minister
called it the darkest day.
they have chosen to make
new zealand their home
and it is their home.
they are us.
the person who has perpetuated this
violence against us is not.
