Horrific. The heroic bystanders deserve recognition.

No dozens dead by bullets. Hmm.

Someone commented that it wasn't a gun incident, but it's very easy to Google and find that gun crime is on the rise in NZ, especially in relation to gangs, whose numbers are also on the rise.

On the rise from what, to what?

@Chelsea gun laws have been tightened a lot after the Christchurch incident.

Hopefully it won't inspire any copycats. Did this really need to be news in Japan?

What an odd thing to say! This is in the World News Section. And even though NZ is right down their at the bottom of the planet, it is still part of the world, right? Do you want this hidden because you are scared Japanese tourists won't go to NZ or because you think their will be copycat killings in Japan?

Some people still cannot get over Labour's thumping electoral victory, as well as Arderns popularity, and will grasp at any tiny straws. Sad individuals, I guess.

Just speculating - but I hope I am wrong. It could be someone from the extreme right trying to undermine Ardern's policies. A brainwashed Islamist or someone with mental health issues. Let's hope the investigation brings the truth to light.

Must've had some kind of motivation to walk into a supermarket with two knives. My guess is it was someone with mental health issues who didn't like one of the staff there. Scary.

A high level Police officer in NZ with international experience once commented that NZ was one of the only countries where people would run toward an incident, so they could render assistance.

I'd like the police to make their minds in Australia and NZ
If someone steps in to help their deemed
"Vigilantes braking the law" not "courageous acts by bystanders".
Hopefully this isn't another domestic terrorist action by another extremest immigrant .
Bob Fosse
It appears not to be.

Lockdown fever?

People keep trying to find a race or lockdown issue, conspiracies that his name is withheld because he isn’t white or that it’s an immigrant terrorist or that it’s lockdown cabin fever.
All indications now are that it was a white male high on something.

World section, my friend.
Thankfully they're weren't more injured, or worse. Hope the victims pull through.

its kind of sketchy when the media takes the time to blur the face of the suspect in pictures and videos that arent shot from the back of his head.

Not as sketchy as claiming the media are not releasing his name because he isn’t white. As you like to say:
“ouch. how inconvenient to the narrative.”
Bob Fosse
Sons of Anarchy was a pretty good TV show. It doesn’t deserve to get dragged into this because of this guy’s T-shirt.
