Police have arrested four people and defused explosive devices in what they’re calling a carefully planned attack against migrants and refugees.
They’re not releasing names of any of the suspects. But, a man who claimed responsibility for the shootings left a 74-page anti-immigrant manifesto in which he explained who he was and his reasoning for his actions. He said he was a 28-year-old white Australian.
President Donald Trump has tweeted in response to the attack.
