The video was released after the accused's court appearance where he was charged for murder pending further investigation with the possibility of more charges in the foreseeable future.

The footage, which was taken by a motorist on Strickland Street, showed police cautiously approaching the shooter’s car, fully armed. The scene included a police car and a Subaru belonging to the 28-year-old terrorist.

Judge P. Kellar said the one charge was temporary and he assumed “there will be others” as the investigation progresses. However, to promote the fundamental principles in New Zealand of openness and transparency, he allowed the hearing to be photographed, filmed and audio recorded.
