An armed congregation member chased after and fired twice at the gunman who slaughtered 49 people at two mosques in the New Zealand city of Christchurch on March 15, the New Zealand Herald reported.

The man—identified only as a well-known area resident and a Muslim—left the scene of the Linwood mosque when gunfire broke out before returning with a firearm to engage the gunman.
