A spokeswoman for Facebook New Zealand, Mia Garlick, said videos which appeared to show the Christchurch shootings have been taken down.
New Zealand police have asked social media users to not share the video which has already been distributed widely online.The strict lockdown on Christchurch's school has been lifted, New Zealand police announced on their social media. The shootings occurred on Friday -- the busiest day for many mosques around the world when Muslims convene for the Friday prayer.
She said TVNZ has confirmed nine deaths already although there could be many more in the two attacks. Police have not given any official numbers as yet but said it is"significant." Environmentalist Bill McKibben, founder of the 350.org site, noted the awful contrast between the two events on Twitter. He wrote:Local resident Robert Weatherhead told CNN affiliate, NEWSTALK, that he took in people who escaped from the Masjid al Noor mosque on Deans Avenue.

Why are we trying to keep it from circulating? This censorship is part of the problem. People will hear about another shooting and go on about their day. This is a real problem thay we shouldn’t hide from. Please continue to show everyone how horrible gun violence is.
Do you know what i am doing? Listen! Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry man!
I can't hear Christchurch with out thinking about the beginning of heavenly creatures
VirginiaMAGAKAG I still have yet seen the video. I dont even think it even existed.
What prurient interest did it serve by showing it anyway🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
The video must post all the social media.
CNN DO NOT DOWN PLAY THE FACT THIS MURDERER SPOKE OF TRUMP! & IN TRUMPS VETO SPEECH TODAY HE USED THE SAME WORD AS THE MURDERER CALLING MUSLIMS/IMMAGRANTS 'INVADERS'! POTUS'S HATRED, RASIM, SEPARATISM, & WHITE SUPREMACIST BELIEFS STAINS KILLERS MIND. NZ
Yea cnn ur lying cuz everyone has a copy of this shit. Its too late
'New Zealand police have asked social media users to not share the video' Aaaaand yup, I don't have to go any further than the comments on this Twitter post to find it.
FORATOFFOLI
They’re are many videos still being circulated it’s horrible
This is what wrong with our world ok Oh take it down no kids teen adult see this Everyone need learn killing is stupid. School don't teach this
Facebook please have a box checking all shares before going to social media.. Terror should not be supported by any social media..
it's a christian terrorism no more no less, and CNN should describe it as a Christian terrorism against Muslims and Islam religion
NahayatT I see loads of people attcking people he clealry wanted attacked. I see loads of people doing exactly what he said he wanted to see happen. Truth is people are dumber than I thought. He is smarter than alot of these ideologues and has clearly gamed them. Pretty sad actually
RealSaavedra Why evil needs to be revealed.
'THATS ONLY FOR SICK HEADS'
Why would anyone want to see this video!!!!!!! What is wrong with you people that want to want an act of terror?!!!!!! Do not want this video people!!!! Send your thoughts and prayers to all that are affected.

Not shooting it is terrorism
Reason number 1001 not to have Facebook
Devil will be to happy any way victim ان شاء الله شهداء في الجنة and the criminal الله God will punish him
Shielding people from the truth only makes people desensitized to violence that is what is wrong with our youth they think life is like a video game & you can just press a button & restart
I'm truly sorry for the families of lost their lovers. My Muslim brothers I'm a Muslim and nothing stops me to go to mosque. Allah great.
Will never watch it. TheyAreUs NewZealand WeAreOne
Facebook gives these people the perfect platform!! This is the final straw facebook
Heartbreaking
I have downloaded it.
DavidCampbell73 I don't understand the mentality of people who share abhorrent videos such as this.
Well done
Saddened to hear about the horrifying act in NewZealand my thoughts and prayers continue to be with all who have been impacted.
That sick freak should be executed Justice must be served
It's not just a shooting, but a 'mindless terrorist attack'.. It should get similar pronounced condemnation, like other infamous attacks in Paris, Manchester etc. So as to forestall copycat atrocities taking place elsewhere.
How-did-this-get-on-Facebook-in-the-first-place? Irresponsible You're-telling-me-that-the-individuals-involved-posted-a-live-stream-of-the-attack-&-murders-on-Facebook-? and-it-was-on-the-FB-platform-for-hours? $FB-Needs-to-catch-that-faster-&-remove-immediately Filters
Now your time
Why not?
It’s terrorism and terrrorist attack : say it
How hard to call the act of right wing extremists the act of Terrorism 🤔
If it were 'muslims' they'd be called terrorists! And the msg would be parading it all over! But I believe that EVERYONE should see with their own eyes that hatred of Muslims and other faiths leads to this kind of extreme 'TERRORISM'! I understand the stance of no oxygen, but!!!
Where twitter at on this? And everyone that shares it needs to have their info stored on a red flag database. Fake names, fake accounts, vpns, tor browser cant hide you
So now Facebook is a platform for snuff?
Live video of new Zealand
This madness will continue long after realDonaldTrump He has planted a genocidal seed in the world. He has created a new gestapo and now people live in fear.
HYPOCRISY at it's best; MSM still not ready to call it a terrorist attack 👏👏👏👏 Reason; We all know
But they say they cant remove sick videos
Are they afraid to show the world white savagery because it's only a preserve of black and brown people? Share the video let the world see whites for what they are.
RealSaavedra BoycottCNN
why? let people see who is really terrorist
They haven’t, I’m in Nz and it’s circulating like wildfire still. I’ve had six people send it to me already and have more people still posting it. They’re lying, but they’re trying.
It’s still been posted all over Twitter because ppl are fuxxing SCUM. TwitterSafety you must work to get the video removed and suspend/ban anyone posting it as clickbait. Christ. jack
Video of 17 minute video still online
Too late. Some footage has already been recorded. Deepest sympathies to all families affected by this horrendous crime. Truth is though, government cannot keep anyone safe.
Heard he said some things about supporting Trump.. any truth to this?
Why did it take them so long? They can single out specific users in an instant for stupid stuff, but not something as awful as this?
RealSaavedra A good guy with a gun took down the bad guy with a gun. Well done.
Hey jack is everyone asleep. Take control of your monster.
i thinl you misspeled terrorist attack and wrote shooting instead ...
Check page for link
That they were even allowed to be live streamed for 17 mins on FB is crazy in the first place. Remember when they claimed they put up firewalls to prevent that after the killing on it last year? Perhaps we now know why FB was down yesterday. Hackers in their systems.
Not really!
DavidCampbell73 Do Not Share that video its what he wants he's a monster!
Good this is exactly what he wants don’t give that pos the attention
Can any one send me the Video?This is absolutely unfair and unhuman.. .
y’all omg 😮 please don’t let me know about this please thanks 🙏 kimhumphrey2201 thanks 🙏
I know this will be Absolutely Horrible.... In fact I have not seen the video but I know it will be so horrible.....
Is there anyone here who’d be okay with not having a rifle to defend yourself, family and community against that NewZealand shooter! Sure, a handgun would’ve been just fine huh? Or maybe no gun at all? NewZealand NO RETURN FIRE! 🔥 SecondAmendment USConstitution
RealSaavedra Please don’t insult us!! Hoax
CiroGomezL ahí te hablan 🤦🏻♂️
That’s responsible reporting and policing imagine the endless TV debates if this happened in India.
RealSaavedra Funny how Twitter will ban you in seconds for the coding advice but the shooter's video is all over its site for hours with tons of people reporting it
RealSaavedra Little reporting this
SHUTDOWN FACEBOOK! IT LITERALLY HAD ANTI-ISLAMIC VIDEO ON THERE SITE! ARREST ZUCK! Oh wait, it’s FB ofc there’s no one seriously screaming take it down. However there’s ppl screaming about taking down 8chan & 4chan.
Graphic is an underestimate !
RealSaavedra Hoax
Call it a 'TERRORIST ATTACK'.
if its on the internet it here to stay its like a hydra you take down 1 , 3 pop up in its place and millions of people have already downloaded it and can upload it back up later
RealSaavedra And they should respect that.
Why? So the MSM can control the story & create a fake narrative?
RealSaavedra Haha Too Late they are over social media, not just Facebook 🤦♂️ lol NewZealand
Showing the footage is exactly what these pro-hate groups want. They want us to be afraid to go to church. They want us to be afraid to speak the truth about tyrants. Don't give them one second of your time and DON'T BE AFRAID.
What about jack Twitter?
If you haven't seen that video, pray you don't see it if you don't want to get heartbroken. It is scary.
RealSaavedra Watching this horrific video is only glorifying it and giving the shooter exactly what he wants. Do not watch or share it.
Again Facebook removes evidence
💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏
RealSaavedra Cuz it’s a FF! People already seeing flaws in video.
RealSaavedra 'These videos can't be used to start a war in Syria, so we aren't interested in them' Said CNN
Father the times are Evil & Man has no answers for the children but, you alone have all Wisdom & knowledge so if we trust in you & continue walking by faith& not by sight,we will overcome all,with our children learning that you belong to them &more importantly they belong to you~
Very condolences to the affected families and relatives.terrorism is real and we should be alert
So instead you choose a thumbnail showing carnage to drive clicks to your article. Real classy CNN, as always.
Twitter TwitterSupport get on it!!
LMAO..You mean they show that it was just a drill passed off as real by lying media like you. CUI BONO
Facebook waited way too long.
Has CNN asked the same? Everyone else has.
There's more worry in who is sharing video of the shooting than in finding a final solution to stop these jihadist scums
Facebook is complicit in hate and murder and should be dissolved. NewZealand
😢
No. Air this. Air all of it. Air every last fucking second. Let these shit-stirring motherfuckers see what they have done.
Facebook needs to lose its platform like gab did.
Yes. It’s still on Twitter as at 1844 NZ time
So much HATE in the world.
No shit
.CNN should be plastering how dangerous media contagion is, and why we have to stop giving cowards like these free international press.
Then why are you sharing it? 🤦🏼♀️
Sick vultures
Unfortunately people recorded it and it’s still all over Twitter...
Tell that to MatthewKeysLive
look into it.
