The gunman’s 17-minute footage of the attack was initially uploaded to Facebook via a mobile app called LIVE4, which is designed to allow extreme sports enthusiasts to stream footage from personal body cameras. On further reflection, we decided to remove it some hours ago.” The spokesperson also said: “In common with many other news organisations around the world, MailOnline carried for a time a very short excerpt from beginning of the Christchurch mosque gunman’s video that showed no violence or victims. This was an error and swiftly corrected.”
A spokesperson said: “A link was briefly carried to the gunman’s ‘manifesto’. MailOnline also uploaded the alleged attacker’s full 74-page manifesto to its website, deleting the document after being accused of spreading terrorist material.

The scenes appear to have been filmed with a camera mounted on his chest. He flees the scene in his car in a relatively calm manner, laughing at times during the drive. He later shoots seemingly randomly on the street and returns to the car before heading back into the mosque again and repeating the process. The gunman begins the video by saying “let’s get this party started” and listens to American civil war music on his way to the shooting.Ĭarrying a number of automatic rifles, two jerry cans and a bag with a ‘PROUDLY KIWI AS’ logo, the gunman stops his car near the mosque, takes a gun out of the boot, then walks into the building and opens fire. Photographs on the man’s Twitter page, which has since been taken down by the platform, show weapons which match the ones used in the video, scrawled with the names of infamous mass shooters
