FBI Investigation

The FBI stated the teens bonded over a warped worldview including white supremacist rantings and alleged Nazi leanings. A 75-page manifesto contained anti-Islamic, antisemitic, anti-LGBTQ, and racist statements. It also blamed Jewish people and expressed anti-MAGA views.

Lead FBI agent Mark Remily said, 'They didn't discriminate on who they hated.' The manifesto listed Brenton Tarrant, the Christchurch mosque shooter, as a hero.

Attack Details

The teens opened fire at the mosque on Monday before taking their own lives. A gas canister with a Nazi SS sticker and a shotgun were found near their car. Police said one weapon had 'hate speech' written on it.

Security guard Amin Abdullah, a father of eight, was hailed as a hero for engaging the shooters and saving lives. Other victims were Nader Awad, 57, who ran toward the gunfire, and Mansoor Kaziha, a mosque worker.
