An AOS medic says he was not aware of a "load and go" strategy employed by commanders at Christchurch's Linwood Mosque on March the 15th and believed ambulances were on their way.

The admission came earlier today as the inquest into the 2019 mosque attacks continued at Christchurch.

Later in the day, a senior police officer teared up on the stand as he recalled entering the Linwood mosque believing there was not one, but six gunman inside.

 Adam Burns was in court.
