CARY, N.C. -- Muslim communities join faith communities across the globe in mourning the deaths of at least 49 people in New Zealand.

• A gunman shot into two mosques in New Zealand
• At least 49 people were killed
• There will be a vigil Friday at 6:30 p.m. in Cary

A gunman shot into two mosques on Friday. Some mosques in the Triangle have heightened security in the aftermath. Many say it is time to stand against bigotry and hatred in all of it's forms.

"Just because we worship differently, or we pray differently, or we may look differently, we are not different from anybody else," said Faisal Khan with Carolina Peace.

The Islamic Association of Cary is holding a prayer vigil this evening for the victims.
