DRAMATIC END TO SYDNEY HOSTAGE CRISIS

DRAMATIC END TO SYDNEY HOSTAGE CRISIS The deadly siege of a central Sydney cafe has ended but the investigation is just beginning. Australian authorities stormed the cafe where a self-styled Muslim cleric had been holding hostages early Tuesday, killing the gunman. They moved in some 16 hours after the siege began, after hearing gunfire inside the Lindt Chocolate Cafe. Two of the 17 hostages, Katrina Dawson, 38, and Tori Johnson, 34, who were initially held by the gunman died. Other people were injured, including a police officer who suffered a wound to the face from gunshot.
