in New Zealand rose to 50, police said on Sunday , as Christchurch residents flocked to memorial sites and churches across the city Sunday to lay flowers and mourn the victims.
Another man arrested on Friday will appear in court on Monday on charges that are"tangential" to the attacks, though he was not believed to be involved in the shootings, Police Commissioner Mike Bush told reporters Sunday. Fifty people were wounded in the carnage, and doctors have worked round the clock to treat the 36 people still in hospital for gunshot wounds and other injuries sustained in the attacks.The attack on the Al Noor and Linwood mosques has shaken this usually peaceful country, which prides itself on welcoming refugees fleeing violence or persecution.
"It was a very bad day, not just all of us, all of New Zealand," said Ibrahim Abdulhalim. But, he added:"We still love this country".Large crowds in Christchurch, many carrying bouquets of flowers, headed to memorials Sunday to share messages of love to the victims and their families. They want to know how it was possible for the perpetrator to remain undetected by the intelligence services despite his extremist views.
US President Donald Trump condemned the"horrible massacre" in which"innocent people have so senselessly died", but denied that the problem of right-wing extremism was widespread.
