A second shooting has been reported at Linwood Masjid, where a witness says they saw a man leave the mosque wearing camouflage gear and a motorcycle helmet, while unconfirmed reports indicate a bomb was found on nearby Strickland ave.

About 20 officers are clearing nearby buildings, while Christchurch schools have been placed on lockdown. Another witness said he saw “a man in handcuffs being led away by police.”

Witnesses, cited by media, have said multiple people were killed, with an unnamed source telling Stuff there were nine fatalities. There has been no official confirmation of the numbers as of yet. Witness Muhammad Alsouzan says “up to 15” were shot inside the mosque.

Christchurch Hospital staff are expecting about 40 to 50 injured people and have cleared out the emergency department in preparation.
