新西兰枪击案致49死 白人至上主义卷土重来

In New Zealand, another day of mourning, resolve and questions after the mass shooting in two mosques that left at least 49 dead and dozens more wounded in the city of Christchurch.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has met with families of those killed and wounded and with others in the Muslim community. She said she brought two messages - one of love, support and shared grief.

The second was the assurance of safety to worship. Meanwhile, the suspected shooter appeared in court, where he was charged with murder.

He is a 28-year-old Australian and self-professed white supremacist. Marc Greenhill joins us now from Christchurch. He's with New Zealand's largest news website, Stuff.

Thank you so much for joining us today. No problem, Melissa.

And can you describe what you have been seeing and hearing around the city today? Yeah, today is obviously day two of after the shooting.

It's really been a weird feeling around the city today. One of mourning, obviously, as we come to terms with what was possibly the most shocking gun crime that this country has ever seen.

Just reeling from this brutality, really, and what we always thought was a very safe country. And it sounds like there's been a great outpouring of support for the Muslim community.

Yeah, people were out in droves showing their support for the community. Floral tributes around the city, people bringing food to victims' families and those in hospital.

It's really been a great thing to see the community rally around this tragedy. Marc, what are you learning about some of those who were killed in this tragedy?
