49 killed, 20 wounded in NZ mosque shootings

Sajeda Akhter, Omar Faruq, Rubel and Muhtasim are attending treatment in a critical condition. “Some other Bangladeshis are still missing.”

A press note from Bangladesh’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed three casualties and some injured this afternoon.

Bangladesh High Commission directly and through the consul in Auckland disseminated message to Bangladeshis and diaspora living in New Zealand and Christchurch to remain calm, be indoor, avoid places of congregation and to obey the instructions of law enforcers.

From what could be learned, the deceased have been living in Christchurch for quite some time now.

The incident left 49 people killed and scores of others injured as a gunman launched attacks at two mosques during the Friday Jummah prayers.
