Police rescue van moved in front of the cameras to block the view.

It looks like the siege itself is over but situation is far from resolved.

It would be shocking if not impossible the gunman is alive

A discussed unconfirmed scenario currently is the hostages were being moved and decided to make a run for it, the gunman fired first which prompted the police to enter and return fire which was caught on camera.

It has been confirmed the seige wasn't planned, giving weight to the gunman firing first

7 and Sky are confirming 2 deaths and 3 seriously injured. They also confirmed that a shot was fired from inside before any police moved in.

7 have released the footage from their building that the police asked them not to show until it was over. You can clearly see a shot being fired before police went in. I'm guessing he shot someone when they were trying to run and they jumped in.

Everyone is saying at least 2 hostages dead, fate of terrorist unknown.

I'm curious, are there examples of hostage situations being succesful and the guy getting away with it?

So he had a flag that he "raised", but he wants another one?

The flag that he raised wasn't an isis flag. It was some common islamic saying just printed in an isis style.

Looking more and more likely the gunman killed a hostage as a result of 5 other hostages fleeing which is extremely tragic

Police moved in after a radio transmission said a hostage was down inside

Except that he almost certainly didn't get the money and quite possibly died in the jump.

They supposedly found a bunch of the money as well in the woods, don't think this guy lived.

He actually survived and assumed the name Charles Westmoreland. However like most crimanls he couldn't keep himself out of the life of crime and eventually the law caught up with him. He was sentenced to 38 years and served 32 years before being found dead during an escape attempt in which 8 other inmates successfully fled the prison.

Pretty sure that Charles Westmoreland was a made up character on a TV series.

Did his brother commit a crime so as to be sent to the same prison, then with the use of an elaborate body tattoo that featured a detailed map of the underground sewers, plan a cunning escape?
