MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 15th March, 2019) US President Donald Trump on Friday offered condolences to the victims of a shooting in two mosques in New Zealand.

Mass shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand, left 49 people dead and 39 more injured, Police Commissioner Mike Bush said.

"My warmest sympathy and best wishes goes out to the people of New Zealand after the horrible massacre in the Mosques. 49 innocent people have so senselessly died, with so many more seriously injured. The U.S. stands by New Zealand for anything we can do. God bless all!" Trump said on Twitter.

The police have already charged a 28-year-old male with murder and taken another two suspects into custody. A third individual was also detained after the attack but was found to have had nothing to do with the shootings.
