NZ PM Jacinta Ardern is speaking now. She says that the two possible accomplices who were arrested earlier are still in custody, and still under investigation.
The Christchurch shooter had five guns with him, Ardern says, and had a firearms license. She says the country's "gun laws will change."
Answering a question, Ardern indicates that she believes that all of the shooter's guns were legally acquired and possessed.
Police are still trying to "ascertain whether [the other two arrestees] were directly involved," Ardern says. She describes the suspect who has been arraigned for murder as "the primary perpetrator."
New Zealand PM Ardern says Trump called her earlier and asked what the US could do to help. She said what was needed was "sympathy and love for all Muslim communities."
PM Ardern says there is currently no reason to believe that any conspirators in the attack are still at large, but that they don't want to "take that for granted," and are taking appropriate precautions.
In answer to final question, Ardern says NZ has stepped up its efforts to combat far right extremist violence in recent months, but that the Christchurch shooter wasn't on the govt's radar.
