Gears of the Beast Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 holy shit, I just saw a lot of shooting. I can only speculate but I think police decided it was time to take the guy out. I hope none of the hostages got hit, tons of paramedics rushing inLots of people carried away on stretchers, I dunno if that means they were hit or just stunned by the flash bangs and shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gears of the Beast Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 It's officially over, lots of (unconfirmed) reports that 2 are dead and 3 'seriously injured'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching on ABC.com, they sent a bomb disposal unit in. I don't know about dead, only thing they've said on that was that two people required CPR.

Fragile Bird Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 This was going relatively well, it looked like they were going to wait him out. I wonder what triggered the rescue attempt. If 2 are dead, I assume one was a hostage, and my thoughts and prayers go out to their family, and to all the injured and their families, and all the hostages, who are likely to suffer from PTSD for some time, maybe forever.

DJDonegal Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 If I was guessing I would say that with the escape of further hostages, the gunman felt he was losing control of the situation and decided to take some horrible actions. Bomb disposal equipment and personnel on the scene. I hope this is over, but it may not be. Thoughts with those whose loved ones are involved and, it seems, especially with those who have lost someone in this horrendous situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 confirmed 2 dead, one of them the gunman. My thoughts and prayers to the family of one the innocent dead, and the families of all the other victims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DemiNymph Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Saw some of the footage of the police storming the place. So many rumours flying about now. Wonder how CNN got their news when the aussies don't even release anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how CNN got their news when the aussies don't even release anything. It's funny, CNN started blaming ABC for the report about 2 dead 3 injured. I've been watching ABC since the shooting, there's no way ABC reported that. Nothing's confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arya_underfoot Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Woke up to the worst possible news this morning! My thoughts and sympathies are with the families of those who lost loved ones. I hope the injured recover soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhangel Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 He converted to Sunni Islam (having formerly been Shiite) only a week ago. He was hardly a dyed in the wool ISIS follower; he was just a random nut-case. That's plenty scary in its own way, but let's not make it more than it is.

Arthmail Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 He's an accessory to murdering his own wife, and he seems like a fucking loon. Nothing radical about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryanfury Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Can't wait until everyone starts questioning why a crazy man on charges of accessory to murder who has sent abusive letters to families of deceased soldiers was out on bail in the first place. I wouldn't want to be the judge who granted him bail right now.Seriously sucks though, and just across the ditch too so its hitting a little too close to home, especially with our own crazies over here in NZ stirring crap.
