New Zealand is reeling from a knife-wielding rampage at a busy Auckland supermarket that left six fighting for their lives and the assailant dead. Authorities have called it a terror attack. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern confirmed that the man behind Friday's terrorist attack in Auckland, who was shot dead by police after he stabbed six people in a supermarket, was inspired by ideologies of the Islamic State militant group. "A violent extremist undertook a terrorist attack on innocent New Zealanders," Ardern said at a briefing Friday afternoon. Three of the six victims were critically injured, one is in serious condition and two are in moderate condition, police said.
