In addition to the livestream of Tarrant’s shooting spree, the gunman uploaded a manifesto titled “The Great Replacement” where he tried to justify his actions. Police sirens can be heard wailing in the distance before the video ends at around the 17 minute mark. Tarrant finally drives off while playing the soundtrack from the ‘90s racing anime, Initial D. The man did not appear to have even noticed the initial shots in his direction before he was shot. Upon seeing another pedestrian in Muslim garb, Tarrant uses a shotgun to blow several holes in his windscreen before he shoots out his side window and guns down the man in cold blood. The shooter drives away from the scene of carnage with relative ease. He fires at a number of pedestrians but it is unclear whether he wounded or killed anyone else. Tarrant unloads his newly-equipped AR-15 into badly wounded survivors in the main hall, but ignores various locked rooms where muffled voices can be heard panicking before he makes his way back to the vehicle. Red cans of gasoline can be seen sitting in the trunk of the vehicle alongside spare firearms and ammunition. Tarrant picks up another AR-15 from his vehicle as well as several more magazines, before heading back into the mosque. A woman, whom he wounds, can be heard and seen screaming for help before he ends her life.
Tarrant then makes his way outside and fires upon passersby who can be seen wearing Muslim religious garb. PewDiePie critics on social media have taken to blaming the popular YouTuber for the attack, wrongfully stating that the shooter shouted “subscribe to PewDiePie” before immediately opening fire, when in fact he only did so while in his vehicle, not immediately before the attack.įacing no armed resistance whatsoever, Tarrant conducted his shooting spree with relative ease, firing his way into the mosque with a shotgun where he gunned down several people in the corridor before switching to an AR-15, mowing down dozens more. Prior to going on the shooting spree, Tarrant made a number of meme references, including “subscribe to PewDiePie” and playing a Serbian military song from the ‘90s called “Remove Kebab” popularized by alt-right YouTubers. The entire sequence of events in the Facebook livestream plays out in first-person, leading observers on Twitter and elsewhere to draw comparisons to the infamous Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 “No Russian” mission. His guns and ammo magazines are covered in the names of the victims of terror attacks in the West. Independent journalist Nick Monroe discovered the attacker’s Twitter account at (now suspended -, archive.fo), where he posted images of the firearms and gear used in the attack. The mass shooter advertised the livestream, as well as a manifesto titled “The Great Replacement,” to 8chan, a laissez-faire imageboard that is frequently in the news over various drama. (New reports now back this up, saying at least 40 dead: see bottom of article for updates.) A gunman - now identified as Brenton Tarrant - has massacred unarmed people in a mosque in Christchurch’s Hagley Park (New Zealand), and the gruesome events were livestreamed on Facebook by the shooter himself.Įarly reports suggest that at least six people have been shot, but the livestream of the incident show dozens of casualties within and around the mosque.
