JUST IN: New Zealand prime minister vows 'gun laws will change' after mass shooting at mosques.
Ardern said at a news conference that she was advised that— two semi-automatic weapons, two shotguns and a lever-action firearm — and that he had a gun license acquired in November 2017.
She noted that there have been attempts to change the nation's gun laws in the past, most recently in 2017, but said"now is the time for change." Two others were also arrested and “inquiries are ongoing to establish whether the other two who were arrested were directly involved with this incident,” Ardern said.
