BBC saying that the terrorist is dead.

 

[DeGoedStuff]

That footage of the room lighting up is so sad.

 

[Gibbsy]

Wow those shots of the building just lighting up

 

[The Passenger]

Why would the 'Sheikh' be one of the people requiring CPR? (according to Sky)

Wouldn't the ideal outcome be for him to be dead? Or would police want him alive so that they could question him?

they are required to keep everyone alive to the best of their ability, regardless of their role in what happened today.

 

[Crow-eater]

That was just... far out.

It escalated so bloody quickly.

 

[RICHOLEGEND12]

I fear there was something we didn't know about. Cameraman said a woman with multiple gun shot wounds... multiple.

 

[PP34]

I really hope Australians take this for what it is and don't turn it into another reason to go all nuts about Islam.

Won't happen though. Frightening are the ramifications if people get angry.

 

[Max_very_well]

Why are they showing this live?

It feels kinda wrong having this sort of access.

 

[calaisking]

Terrible news. 2 people didn't make it

 

[Shinboner '07]

2 people need CPR.. I hope they pull through

I like to hope the second round of shots being fired were them trying to give him cpr

 

[Belnakor]

That chan 7 footage doesn't show much

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

C7 reporting 2 dead and 3 injured.

 

[eddiebankbalance]

About time they killed the alarm bell.

 

[OzBomber]

2 people dead, 3 seriously injured. ****.

 

[camsmith]

Cameraman - "I saw the whole thing" "traumatic.." "one has come in" (to st Vincents),

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

BBC saying that the terrorist is dead.

I think thats a given. He will have more holes in him than swiss cheese.

 

[saintkildaman]

So f*cked.

Praying for all those that were injured.

Fu*k me, hats off for those brave, brave police.

Alive. For sure.

Cheers I figured that might be the case.

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

Can someone link ABC news 24?

 

[MJ2014]

Numerous casualties, one women in 40's shot in lower limbs.

Cameraman: "one deceased likely, 50-100 shots fired" "i've seen some scary ... that takes the cake, i dont think its something I want to see again".

Seen worse. But this just sucks..

 

[Small Moves]

I can't believe people still have the nerve to hate on police and show massive disrespect to them.

I mean, ****. A team of them just charged into gunfire. Nothing but respect for each and every one of them.

 

[ep2018]

C7 reporting 2 dead and 3 injured.

One the terrorist you'd assume.

 

[kenneje]

Stunning human beings the police officers.
