The New Zealand government said it could be illegal to share the video, which showed the gunman repeatedly shooting at worshippers from close range. Photos of weaponry with distinctive writing on them were posted on the Twitter account on March 13. The Facebook account that posted the video was no longer available shortly after the shooting. The Twitter account of the same name was quickly suspended. AFP downloaded the video and took screenshots of the Twitter account before they went inactive.
