CNN UPDATE.

Explosive devices were attached to vehicles.
New Zealand police commissioner Mike Bush told reporters that there were multiple improved explosive devices attached to vehicles as part of the attack.

Bush said these had been "made safe by the defense force."
"This goes to the seriousness of the situation," he said.
He said that police were not assuming the situation was limited to Christchurch at this stage.

CNN UPDATE.

Still no death toll from police, identity of victims not known.
New Zealand police commissioner Mike Bush said again there have been "multiple fatalities" but couldn't say at this point how many. "It is significant," Bush said.

Bush added the identities of all the victims weren't known at this stage.
The New Zealand police press conference has now wrapped up. Bush said there would be more information available soon.

New Zealand police: Don't share video of the shooting.
CNN.

... Police earlier told CNN they were "aware" of a specific video, but were unable to confirm or deny its veracity.
The disturbing video which has not been verified by CNN, purportedly shows a gunman walking into the mosque and opening fire.


Have not seen this video (or where it might be posted) and I don't think I want to either.

My local TV channel indicated that there are reports that those killed might be around 50 individuals.
Horrible.
