What we know now
The shootings: At least 49 people were killed and 20 seriously injured, after mass shootings at two mosques in the New Zealand city of Christchurch.
The suspects: Police said four people have been taken into custody, and one of them has already been charged with murder. An account believed to belong to one of the attackers featured a link to an 87-page manifesto filled with anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim ideas.
How the country is responding: New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has described the attack as an "unprecedented act of violence" and called it "one of New Zealand's darkest days."
"Shame on the people who have promoted this kind of hate"
Speaking on CNN Talk, political commentator Ayesha Hazarika said that, as a Muslim, she is "sickened and frightened" by the attacks.
"We have a culture, a media and social media culture, that not only tolerates hatred to Muslims but celebrates it," she said. "Shame on the people who have promoted this kind of hate.
"I have friends who have contacted me saying they’re scared to go to mosques. Today is a dark day," said Hazarika.
