New Zealand police revealed Friday that they met with the accused Christchurch mosque shooter at his home in October 2017.
Australian Brenton Tarrant, a self-avowed white supremacist, applied for the gun licence in September 2017 and a police"firearms vetting team" visited his home in the southern city of Dunedin the following month, a police spokesman said.
The police team carried out the visit in October, interviewing Tarrant and carrying out a"security inspection" of his home, he said.
