Forty-one people were killed at the Al Noor mosque, and another seven at the Linwood mosque. The dead, injured or missing hailed from countries across the Middle East and South Asia, including Pakistan, Indonesia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh and Malaysia. Omar told NBC from a local hospital that he ran to the mosque as soon as he heard there had been a shooting. “He enjoyed freedom there and never complained about anything.”Passerby Jill Keats tended to one of the injured victims outside the Al Noor mosque. One of the injured, Penangite Rahimi Ahmad, 36, played dead in order to survive, a friend told the New Straits Times.
