A closed court has seen graphic video of a 2021 terrorist attack in Auckland at New Lynn Countdown.
A coronal inquest began today into the stabbing of six people at the supermarket.
Officers monitored Sri Lankan Islamic State supporter, Ahamed Samsudeen - then shot him dead.
Newstalk ZB's Jordan Dunn has been at the inquest.
He says police revealed why they didn't originally follow the 35-year old into the store.
"They didn't think it was a target-rich environment, which essentially means that they knew he was capable of carrying out an attack. They thought if he were to do that, that it would be in a more densely populated area."
