NZ mourns massacre victims as tales of heroism, tragedy emerge via SABCNewsOnline

As the bodies of some victims were released to their families, a list circulated by relatives showed they ranged in age from three to 77 and included at least four women.

“It did not include a location, it did not include specific details,” she said, adding that it was sent to security services within two minutes of receipt. Amid the sadness, there have also been tales of heroes such as Alabi Lateef and a fellow worshipper, who followed the 28-year-old Australian gunman to his car and used a discarded rifle to smash the vehicle’s back window.

The pair’s actions may have helped save further casualties, as Tarrant was apprehended by two armed police officers soon after. “We stand together with our Muslim brothers & sisters” were the words on a large-red banner above a sea of flowers at one of the sites in what one resident dubbed the “city of sorrow”.
