NZ Mosque Shootings: PM tells Muslims in Christchurch New Zealand is united in grief
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern met with Muslim community members and leaders in Christchurch on Saturday, March 16, to reassure them that New Zealand stood with them following an attack on mosques that has killed at least 49 people.
Our gun laws will change, Ardern promised in a news conference Saturday morning, local time. She said the shooter had five guns, two semi-automatic, all legally obtained.
Young children were among the 48 people wounded in the attack and were being treated for gunshot wounds. Forty-one people were killed at Al Noor Mosque and seven people were killed at Linwood Mosque, a 10-minute drive away. One person died later at a hospital. (REUTERS/ VOA)
How the Christchurch shooting led to new gun laws in New Zealand
As New Zealand marks one month since the deadliest shooting in the country's modern history, the nation has now introduced sweeping changes to its guns laws.
It has now formally banned military-style weapons.
The nation is still recovering from the attacks at two Christchurch mosques that left 50 people dead and dozens wounded.
