The dastardly shooting incidents at the two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand have shaken the entire world. This horrific incident took the lives of 49 people leaving 20 seriously injured. Gunmen entered the mosques and started shooting leaving everyone in a state of panic. One of the gunmen was live-streaming this incident on Facebook by using GoPro. A 17-minutes long video was also uploaded on YouTube as well.

During the live-stream, the gunmen asked his followers to subscribe to YouTube sensation PewDiePie.

Currently, a huge tussle is going on between PewDiePie and Indian YouTube channel T-Series for the internet supremacy. PewDiePie is not new to controversy, he has been slammed for making racial jokes in the past.

I feel absolutely sickened having my name uttered by this person.

My heart and thoughts go out to the victims, families and everyone affected by this tragedy.”

Social media giant Facebook and Twitter have already deleted the gunman’s account and working hard to remove the video clips of the horrific incident that are being shared on the platforms. In the meantime, police have issued advisory for Muslims to avoid visiting mosques until the situation normalizes.
