Christchurch, New Zealand (CNN) The suspect accused of carrying out Friday's terror attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, was likely on his way to carry out a third shooting before he was stopped by authorities, New Zealand's top police official said. Police Commissioner Mike Bush said Wednesday that authorities "absolutely" believe they stopped the suspect "on the way to a further attack." New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda was back in Christchurch, Wednesday, to offer comfort to those affected by the tragedy. Ardern also announced that the Islamic call to prayer will be broadcast Friday on TV New Zealand and Radio New Zealand in support of the country's Muslim population. He may have sought notoriety but we in New Zealand will give him nothing -- not even his name."
