Mass killer planned his attack for two years, immersing himself in Internet extremism.
A still image taken from video circulated on social media, apparently taken by a gunman and posted online live as the attack unfolded, shows him entering a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, on Friday.
People wait outside a mosque in central Christchurch, New Zealand, on Friday, after dozens were killed in a mass shooting there. After his father died in 2011, Tarrant, a former fitness trainer who gave free lessons to children in the Australian town where he grew up, spent several years traveling around the world, to places where a white Australian was a distinct minority and a white supremacist was surrounded by people he considered lesser.
Tarrant, who according to London’s Independent newspaper met with right-wing extremists during a visit to Europe in 2017, declared allegiance to a group he called Europeans. The weapons the shooter carried were covered with the names of men who murdered Jews and Muslims in Europe. The manifesto quotes from poets Dylan Thomas and Rudyard Kipling. He rails against “nihilistic and degenerate pop icons” such as Michael Jackson, Madonna and Freddy Mercury.
Tarrant grew up in Grafton, a small town near Australia’s southeast coast, south of Brisbane. He said in the manifesto that his was a “working class, low income family.”
