New Zealand mosque shooting: Gunman had strapped a GoPro camera to his head to livestream shooting on Facebook
Chilling footage of the shooting at one of the two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand was livestreamed on Facebook for 17 minutes by the gunman, believed to be 28-year-old Brenton Tarrant, who had reportedly strapped a GoPro to his head.
The footage shows the gunman opening fire with a semiautomatic rifle, shooting dozens of people inside at point blank range at Al Noor Mosque on Deans Avenue on Friday.
In the distressing 17-minute footage the man says: "Let's get this party started," as he starts his car and begins driving to the Al Noor Mosque in central Christchurch.
Tarrant, dressed in military-style body armor and a helmet, entered Al Noor Mosque around 1.30 pm when the afternoon prayers were going on and opened fire on the innocent worshippers.
The shooter used a semi-automatic shotgun amongst other guns, all of which were scrawled with the names of earlier mass killers and also cities where the shooting had occurred. He proceeded to drive his truck while listening to folk music and military tunes before parking in an alley around the corner from the mosque.
