Hostage Situation Ends at Australia Cafe
人质事件在咖啡馆告捷
A gunman entered a downtown cafe in Sydney on Monday, and took 17 people hostage, including employees and customers. The lone gunman ordered some of the hostages to stand by the window and hang up an Islamic flag. At least 5 hostages escaped during the 16-hour ordeal. This reportedly caused the hostage taker to become extremely agitated. After night fell, commandos stormed the building and ended the siege. Two people, as well as the gunman were killed. The gunman was known to police and was out on bail despite a long criminal history.
