'Multiple fatalities' as gunman targets New Zealand mosquesAt least one gunman who targeted crowded mosques in the New Zealand city of Christchurch killed a number of people, police said, with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern describing the shooting as "one of New Zealand's darkest days". "Police urge anyone in central Christchurch to stay off the streets," he said in a statement. "Please do not try and come and collect your children until police say it is safe for people to come into the central city," they said. There was no official information on casualties but a Bangladesh cricket team spokesman said none of the players were hurt. He said Bangladesh cricket board is in contact with New Zealand cricket authorities and would take further decisions after consultation.
