There’s been a lone-wolf terrorist attack in New Zealand.

Six people were stabbed in an Auckland supermarket on Friday.

Three of them are in a critical condition.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern described the offender, who was shot dead, as a violent extremist.

He had been under heavy surveillance due to concerns about his ideology.

NewstalkZB political reporter Aaron Dahmen said it was a “dark day for New Zealand”.
