the entire city is on 'lock down' (marshall law?) -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 14, 20:20 1
- no martial law/military control, they've just told everyone to stay where they are/inside until there's an all-clear. -- nm - b. Mar 14, 20:29
Don’t look up Christchurch on Twitter, apparently he live streamed the shooting and it’s the top hit right now and auto plays.... -- nm - J Mar 14, 20:02 2

  - Done, Thanks. -- nm - J Mar 14, 20:29
friend at the old company say it's still an active shooter situation, and they've been told to stay inside/lockdown. -- nm - mafic Mar 14, 19:52
Jebus. :-( -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 19:12
One tweet I saw said that 300 people were inside, so I hope that the number of casualties is low or zero. I hope, but… doubtful that'll be the case :( -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 18:56 8
- Oh, two mosques under attack? Yikes. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 19:00 7
  - I haven't seen that one confirmed yet; but there may be more activity at a hospital, too. :/ nm but: -- (link) - b. Mar 14, 19:13 6
    - updated there, 2nd mosque looks confirmed now; and police say there's also a bomb in a car. gah. -- nm - b. Mar 14, 19:31 5
      - be warned - I don't want to look; but the first mosque attack was livestreamed, and footage/images are out there. as is the shooter's as bad as you'd - b. Mar 14, 20:02 4
        
        they allege the shooter said "subscribe to pewdiepie" before starting the shooting -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 14, 20:38 3
        
        I just read that. ayyiyi. :/ -- nm - b. Mar 14, 20:49 2

        ah, someone else agrees. nm but: -- (link) - b. Mar 14, 21:26
huh, that's like a couple hundred metres from my old company's office. just texted a friend and he says the whole area's basically on lockdown. -- nm - mafic Mar 14, 18:54 5
- Are gun laws there as strict as Australia? -- nm - Bacon Mar 14, 19:21 4
  - nope. pretty liberal relative to here. you need a licence, a 'valid reason', and there are character checks. - mafic Mar 14, 19:37
  - I was just reading about that. they're looser there (still stronger than here, though). they make efforts to - b. Mar 14, 19:29 2
    - Aah thx for finding that -- nm - Bacon Mar 14, 19:35 1
