CNN showing the Police Storm Café and shots fired, the gunman is down, and some people being taken away in ambulances. Three of four people injured.

17 hours is news observation on how long siege has gone on. Waiting for siege to end, but looks like most hostages are out with hands up, so they would be recognized as a hostage.

Good Morning, I just got up about 30 minutes ago.

Kudos to the negotiators for keeping it together! This is a far better outcome than I even hoped for.

Injured, and the emergency guys seemed confident, not dismayed.

They have done a remarkably fine job.

Clearly, hey made a good plan and followed it.

This is the first time in my life Ive followed this much “drama” overnight. I did sleep my usual sleep but immediately on arising say down with my coffee to catch up on this fiasco.
