An 18-year-old woman praying inside the Deans Avenue mosque in Christchurch when the shooting started, says she heard between 50 to 100 gunshots. Mulki Abdiwahab fled the mosque barefoot with her mother, leaving her father behind. "I had just finished praying… The room was full of people from all different ages, kids, older people, and all of a sudden we heard gunshots."
