Hostage Situation Ends at Australia Cafe
人質事件在咖啡館告捷
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.
周一在悉尼,一名槍手進入了市中心的一家咖啡館,并劫持了17名人質,包括員工和顧客。這名槍手命令人質站在窗前,并掛上伊斯蘭國旗。在這場16個小時的搏斗中,至少有5名人質逃離。據報道稱這讓槍手極端不安。夜幕降臨以后,突擊隊突襲了這棟樓,進行了包圍。包括槍手在內的3人死亡。警方了解這名槍手,他有很長的犯罪史,并處在保釋期間。
