There are reports up to a dozen people have been injured in a shooting at the Al Noor mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Police have confirmed they are responding to a "critical incident".
All Christchurch schools are in lockdown and witnesses have reported multiple injuries.
The mosque was reportedly busy due to Friday prayers.
Witness Len Peneha said he saw a man dressed in black enter the Masjid Al Noor mosque in central Christchurch about 1:45pm and then heard dozens of shots, followed by people running from the mosque in terror.
Mr Peneha, who has lived next door to the mosque for about five years, said the gunman ran out of the mosque, dropped what appeared to be a semi-automatic weapon in his driveway, and fled.
Mr Peneha said he then went into the mosque to try and help.
"I saw dead people everywhere. There were three in the hallway, at the door leading into the mosque, and people inside the mosque," he said.
"It's unbelievable nutty. I don't understand how anyone could do this to these people, to anyone. It's ridiculous."..

Oh Mr. Holier than thou, please show me where I said the shooting was not sinful? (Was it a sin for you to accuse me of something with no evidence?)
The point of my original post to you went right over your head.
He’s been posturing like that since last night.
I wouldn’t let it get to me.
Well, for example, if a pacifist is threatened, he will generally not resist, and those of similar mindset will agree with him and not promote retaliation, even call him a hero- the net result- no increase in violence. In this case, those non-terrorist/ non activist persons will do similarly, and agree in principle, even admire the activist segment, call him a hero ( even if quietly in their circle) and maybe even find one among them to emulate the behavior.
Every ideology looks for a true believer to move the ball....whatever that ball may be.
Just a slight difference you see.
I suspect ideologically neutral muslims DO NOT attend mosque.
Perhaps because our give-a-damn is busted as far as mohommidans are concerned. I know mine is. As far as this particular act, I neither condone nor condemn it.
You think this idiot helped our cause?
and your empowering the terrorists will get a helluva lot more people killed than weakening them.
If a person can justify mass-murder by others how soon before they too feel justified in committing acts of carnage? Reminds me of “I am personally against abortion...” The culture of death has many cheerleaders who pretend to be ignorant of their support.
Unfortunately, you are correct.
No. I think the idiot gun grabbers will attempt to undermine the 2nd amendment regardless of what anyone does. The other side of it is that I don't have much of a reservoir of sympathy for members of the satanic death cult of mohammendism.
Perhaps not, but when those who do walk around with the sword, they are all consenting, perhaps silently, but they certainly do not interfere with voice or action. Have you ever been in a Muslim society? Culturally they do not think like westerners.
Wondering why the mosques is named Christchurch? Could it be some deception is going on.
and your functional capitulation will guarantee the “helluva lot more people killed” come from OUR side.
Just a short few days prior, an anti-Semetic congresswoman makes hateful remarks and the cleanup crew comes in and waters it down. Thereby assuring us it’s “old news”
Yet, some deranged coward shoots up mosques, and parameters are set so that the news is strictly confined to “islamafobia”
So I think it is incumbent upon the right to remind the left of the many atrocities committed by deranged cowards of islam.
This is only a short list of islam terrorist attacks in the last 30 days, most of which never happened as far as the left is concerned:

Exactly when and how did I empower terrorists?
More of your dangerous nonthinking.
Islam is structured to accept no change. Those Muslims attempting change are in more danger than non-Muslims. Islam is not as simplistic as you seem to think, and that’s what is dangerous.
