Worshippers from a variety of faiths joined Muslims for Friday prayers at the Ummah Mosque in Halifax after mass shootings at two mosques in New Zealand. Forty-nine people were killed and 42 were injured during Friday prayers in Christchurch, in what the prime minister is calling "one of New Zealand's darkest days." Guests grieved at the Halifax mosque and offered prayers with congregants, said Imam Abdallah Yousri. "But our thoughts really go out to the families and emergency personnel that are dealing with the tragedy in Christchurch." A 28-year-old man was charged with murder and appeared in court yesterday, New Zealand police said.
