SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA—The gunman behind at least one of the mosque shootings in New Zealand that left 49 people dead on Friday tried to make a few things clear in the manifesto he left behind: He is a 28-year-old Australian white nationalist who hates immigrants. That attack killed at least 41 people, while an assault on a second mosque in the city not long after killed several more. He wrote that an attack in New Zealand would show that no place on earth was safe and that even a country as far away as New Zealand is subject to mass immigration. He claimed not to be a direct member of any organization or group, though he said he has donated to many nationalist groups. His victims, he wrote, were chosen because he saw them as invaders who would replace the white race.
