summary: "On March 15, 2019, Brenton Tarrant killed 51 people at two Christchurch, New Zealand mosques in a live-streamed attack, inspiring the founding of the Terrorgram Collective and becoming the most cited precedent event in post-2019 neo-Nazi accelerationist attacks."
---
On March 15, 2019, [[Brenton Tarrant]] attacked [[Al Noor Mosque]] and [[Linwood Islamic Centre]] in [[Christchurch, New Zealand]] during Friday prayers, killing 51 people and wounding 40. He live-streamed the Al Noor attack on Facebook via a helmet-mounted camera and distributed a 74-page manifesto titled "The Great Replacement" through 8chan and other platforms before the attack began. He was apprehended within 21 minutes of the first shots. Tarrant pleaded guilty to all charges and received life imprisonment without possibility of parole on August 27, 2020, the first such sentence in New Zealand's history.

The Christchurch attack is the single most cited event across the post-2019 neo-Nazi accelerationist attack record. [[Terrorgram Collective]] was co-founded in the summer of 2019 explicitly in response to Christchurch, with [[Pavol Beňadik]] and [[Matthew Althorpe]] framing Tarrant's attack as the operational template for subsequent [[Saints Culture|saint]] attacks. The inspiration chain from Christchurch runs through [[Payton Gendron]] (Buffalo, May 2022), [[Juraj Krajčík]] (Bratislava, October 2022), [[Arda Küçükyetim]] (Eskisehir, August 2024), [[Nikita Casap]] (Waukesha, February 2025), and [[Cain Clark]]'s manifesto "The New Crusade: Sons of Tarrant" (San Diego, May 2026).[^1]
