PRINCE GEORGE — Prince George residents will have the chance to mourn the victims of the New Zealand mosque shooting tragedies tomorrow night (March 16).

It’s been organized by UNBC’s South Asian Student Society and will take place at 5 p.m. outside City Hall.

“Please join us and feel free to bring signs, candles and your support,” reads a Facebook posting. “There will be an open mic session for anyone who wishes to speak.”

Today’s terrorist attack claimed 49 lives and injured many more.

A 28-year-old suspect, a white nationalist from Australia, has been arrested in connection with the crime and is facing charges.
