>>7678351>From what I heard, the guy who tried it got pretty close to saving the day.I guess you haven't watched it. He ran at the shooter from a group of about 10 people huddled on the floor in a corner, all of whom hadn't been shot at yet, but were witnessing the shooter execute another group huddled in another corner.
After that guy's failed attempt to tackle the shooter, he gave everyone in that corner one bullet each from a distance, ran outside, ran around the perimeter of the mosque (most likely checking for armed defenders, which is the NZ version of a swat team), ran back inside and began shooting every person in there in quick succession with a headshot each at close range, even the ones who weren't moving or groaning. No survivors, basically. There was literally piles of bodies.
Then he ran outside and got a lucky long distance shot on a woman running away. He caught up to her and she was lying on the ground crying for help. He just strolled up to her and gave her a shot in the back of the head at close range, then ran over her body while driving away from the scene.
He left the mosque about 6 minutes after arriving, and apparently police arrived about 1 minute later from a different direction. I'm really curious to know what would've happened if he'd stayed for that extra minute and cops arrived with him still there.
The ruthlessness and meticulous approach he used was surreal as fuck to watch, especially being filmed from his perspective. I'm pretty de-sensitised to this sort of stuff, but that level of ruthlessness really got me to be honest.
