If what looked like gunfire to me actually was, they must of shot a loooot of rounds. Don't think it could of been less than 50 in at least 2 separate bursts.



I think all those flashes are from the grenades actually. Sounds like they only shot a few rounds on initial entry.


That would be a crap ton of flash bangs? I could be wrong though.

They're not your traditional single flash type. They have multiple smaller rounds.

Hmm Never seen those used in the US but seems legit.

They probably had no choice to go in, considering a bunch of hostages just ran out.

it sounds like more hostages were running from the building, then shots were heard, and then the police stormed. it's likely that the police had their hand forced

Given that he got agitated when the last set of hostages was release (CNN article claims at least) its not unreasonable to suspect he started firing upon the remaining hostages that would be terrible news

Without any other information, I'd say that's what happened - hostages started running and he shot. The police seemed to chain the distraction/flash grenades I guess to take his focus off the hostages or impair his sight as they got away.

With the YouTube compilation they put together on this guy he reminds me of the westboro people except there was never anyone with him.

His criminal record is pretty ridiculous too.

They have an inordinate amount of footage of this guy already. I guess he's been on the news before? That's why they have a inordinate amount of stock footage of this guy.

I wonder where CNN got their info from, none of Australia's media seems to know any details yet.

I saw it on the video. wasn't sure at first but I saw someone performing chest compressions just outside the front door. I think they realized what it was the same time I did because they cut to a random shot of nothing after.

The Australian media are being humane and organized and not releasing info until they know it won't do harm.

The rest of the world appears not to care.

According to the news link - http://www.news.com.au/national/martin-place-cafe-siege-police-storm-cafe-where-sheik-man-haron-monis-held-several-people-hostage/story-fncynjr2-1227156241649

This guy is just waiting to blow up. It's pretty sad that the last few hostages decided to make a run for it since that would escalate the situation far quicker than the first few escapees, but I guess you couldn't blame them for not caring about the consequences. Maybe police snipers could have acted sooner once they realized that he was working alone.
