Following the mass shootings at the Al-Noor and Linwood Mosques in Christchurch during Friday prayers which left 50 dead and at least 50 injured, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern stated that it represented "an extraordinary and unprecedented act of violence" and termed it "one of New Zealand's darkest days."
The next day, she was pictured at the Kilbirnie Mosque in Wellington comforting those affected by what was the worst mass shooting in the country's history. Greeted by members of the Muslim community on arrival, she was seen hugging several mosque-goers.
