49 people were killed, including two Jordanians, and 20 others, including seven Jordanians and a Saudi, were wounded in a shootout targeting worshipers during Friday prayers at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.

The New Zealand police arrested three men and a woman, pointing to the charge of murder to one of the detainees.

The authorities did not identify the detainees, but said none of them were on watch lists. But the man who claimed responsibility for the shooting left a 74-page manifesto of Manifesto, explaining who he was and the reasons for his actions. He said he was a 28-year-old Australian white racist.

Activists circulated a video clip that they said documented the moment the New Zealand police arrested one of the perpetrators.
