New CCTV footage shows the suspected Christchurch gunman firing shots from his car during last Friday's terror attack.

The footage features the gunman's Subaru driving towards the Linwood Ave mosque; with the driver sounding the vehicle's horn at pedestrians before firing indiscriminately.

CNN released the CCTV video, which was taken just 300 metres from the Masjid ad Noor Mosque on Deans Ave at 1.46pm on Friday .

The gunman was driving at speed away from the shootings at the Deans Ave mosque.

When a vehicle pulled in front of him, he fired three blasts through his windscreen.

He then turned left and shot out his passenger-side window.

The gunman's vehicle drives away again at speed, heading to the Linwood mosque.

The footage is taken from a hotel's camera.

CNN spoke to the owner of the hotel, Argyle On The Park, who told the network police had been given the video.

Asked about the video, police told CNN: "The investigation into the circumstances of the attack are ongoing and we are not in a position to comment on anything that may be evidential."
