'What happened today was carried out by an individual, not a faith, not a culture, not an ethnicity, but an individual person who took hold of an ideology that is not supported here by anyone or any community,' Ardern said. There are very few who fall into this category,' explained Ardern, who described the alleged perpetrator as a 'lone wolf' follower of Daesh. 'He was someone known to our national security agencies and was a cause for concern.
