A 5-year-old girl and her father who were shot in the March 15 mosque terror attacks, say they are "finally" returning home to Christchurch after four months of hospital and rehab in Auckland.
The father was shot three times in the Al Noor mosque shootings, and his daughter, who was also shot, spent weeks in intensive care at Auckland's Starship Children's Hospital.
The father made the announcement today in a video message on his Facebook page, saying the pair would be back home in Christchurch "hopefully on Saturday the 29th of June".
"Hi my friends, my family, and everyone. I'm very sorry I wasn't able to inform you and update you about our health issues at the moment and how things are progressing very well," the father says.
"I'm doing well and also my beautiful angel is doing well. She's doing very good at the moment, she's getting so much better. Finally we are coming back to Christchurch.
