Watch: ‘Everybody ran to save themselves’
At least 49 people were killed and 20 were injured when a gunman opened fire during Friday prayers at two New Zealand mosques in the country's worst ever mass shooting which Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern condemned as terrorism. One eye witness said that the gunman entered from the main entrance of the building and began shooting. "We heard firing and it was from the main entrance of the buidling. Everybody just ran to the back doors to save themselves," one eye witness said. A second man said he quickly realised the seriousness of the incident when he saw people covered in blood. "Some people had blood on their body, and some were limping. At that moment, I realised it was really serious," the man said.
