A shooting at the Chch mosque has been reported. Bodies were seen on the ground. Apparently the whole area around Hagley Park is in lockdown. Thoughts and prayers with the victims.

This is crazy for NZ to have a mass shooting

Thanks for that, mate.
I remember being in Nelson flying to Auckland and we just walked straight onto the plane.

Bloody hell, that is horrible.
Might not fly down there if the test match is in jeopardy.

Yeah sounds like the Bangladesh players had to make a run for it, might not be in much of a state to play tomorrow after that.

Yeah, sounds like the players heard the shooting and understandably want to leave. Horrendous.

The test should be called off now, imo.

It was.
Very manipulative though, the guy says in his manifesto he wanted to maximise the stirring of the social pot.
Frustrating. Was really looking forward to this and especially Will Young's debut but it's a massive shituation here and it's by far the best call to call it off. I work very close by to the first attack (was actually in Hagley Park when the gunshots went off) and we're still in lockdown with no estimate of when it will end.

Obviously the correct decision. There are far more important things in life than cricket, and the Bangladesh players and staff should get back to their families ASAP.
I hope they'll feel comfortable touring here again at some point in the future, but I can't blame them if not.
