Christchurch, New Zealand (CNN) When Ahmed Khan moved to New Zealand as a refugee from Afghanistan 12 years ago, he thought he had left violence and death behind. Former refugees and migrants have told CNN they chose to make it their home because it was safe. A few blocks away, at the Al Noor mosque, Khan's uncle is believed to be one of 41 people gunned down there while praying. Tributes laid at the police line close to the Al Noor mosque in Christchurch where 41 people died. Christchurch resident Sue Harrison heard the gunshots from her house, near to the Al Noor mosque, and called the police.
