Forty people have been killed and several others injured in shootings at two mosques in New Zealand's city of Christchurch, Al-Jazeera reports.

New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told a news conference that 20 people were in a serious condition after the "terrorist" attack. 

Police Commissioner Mike Bush said four suspects, including a woman, were in custody.

Authorities have not described the scale of Friday's shootings but urged people in central Christchurch to stay indoors. Police warned worshippers not to visit mosques "anywhere in New Zealand".
