Brenton Harrison Tarrant (born 27 October 1990), a white Australian man. He grew up in Grafton, New South Wales, where he attended Grafton High School. [4]After Tarrant's parents separated when he was young, his mother's subsequent boyfriend abused her and the children. He worked as a personal trainer in his hometown from 2009 to 2011, quitting after an injury; in that time, he inherited A$457,000 from his father, who committed suicide in 2010. In 2015, he took a trip to Ukraine and came into contact with right-wing groups.
Tarrant had been living in Andersons Bay in Dunedin since 2017. [4]He was a member of a South Otago gun club, where he practised shooting at its range. A neighbour described him as a friendly loner. In 2018, Tarrant was treated for eye and thigh injuries at Dunedin Hospital; he told doctors he had sustained the injuries while trying to dislodge an improperly chambered bullet from a gun. The doctors also treated him for steroid abuse, but never reported Tarrant's visit to the authorities, which would have resulted in police reassessing his fitness to hold a gun licence. On 15 March 2019 attended in the Christchurch mosque shootings where he killed 51 people and got a life time sentence.
