    It is understood that the killers has a legitimate gun license. "Our gun law will be changed," said Ardern.

    Three suspects are now in custody. They are all Australian citizens, but not in any watch list of New Zealand or Australia. A fourth arrest was not related to the killing and the person was then discharged.

    Tarrant is charged with murder. Two others are still in custody. He live streamed the killing via social media.
