The entire world was pulled to a state of shock when a man named Brenton Tarrant attacked two mosques in New Zealand and killed 49 people. The attacker streamed the video live on his Facebook page, and it was watched by thousands of viewers before the social media platform took it down. Soon after the massacre, Christchurch Police arrested the culprit, and they made it clear that he was driven by extreme right-wing ideologies.
In the video live streamed by Brenton Tarrant, we can clearly see some names written on his automatic gun using a white-ink marker. Upon closer analysis, investigators revealed that these were actually names of people who were involved in the killings of migrants.
