New Zealand mosque shooting: YouTuber PewDiePie reacts to gunman mentioning his name, says he feels 'absolutely sickened'
YouTube sensation PewDiePie has chosen to respond after one of the gunmen praised him, just a while before he opened fire. Around 40 people have lost their lives after two massacres at mosques in Christchurch.
In the gunman's live stream, he can be seen parking his car near the Hagley Park mosque and then taking two guns and walking a short distance towards the entrance of the building. The gunman can be heard saying "let's get this party started" as he approaches the mosque. He can also be heard saying, "Remember lads, subscribe to pewdiepie," referring to the YouTube star who is known for his controversial content.
Just heard news of the devastating reports from New Zealand Christchurch.

I feel absolutely sickened having my name uttered by this person.
My heart and thoughts go out to the victims, families and everyone affected by this tragedy.
