Australia - Martin Place siege: 2 Hostages killed in Lindt Chocolate shop #1

[emirates1957]

My guess is they have escaped on their own accord rather than being released.

refused to say how many perps

My Channel 7 went down, anyone else know another "live" link? Thank you in advance...

If you refresh the page it should come back - worked for me.

Agreed, otherwise I think that they'd be spruiking that they had 'successfully negotiated' their release MOO

If the three escaped it may not bode well for the others (as mentioned), but...I cannot blame them one bit for taking the opportunity to get out if given the chance, the fear and stress in there has to be horrible. I cannot tell you how much I pray this ends well. I need to go to sleep soon, and cannot....feel so upset for these poor people...and possibly children.

'Three hostages flee cafe - what we know so far

Three people have fled the Lindt cafe in Sydney in the seventh hour of the siege. Here is what we know so far:'

BBC : One hostage : There are a lot of people in there

Police spokesperson

"we still don't know what the motivation is"

Either this woman is incredibly stupid or is being politically correct.

Obviously this is a Jihad attack by Islamists probably inspired by Islamic State. Anyone familiar with the Quran knows that this is what believers are commanded to do.

#BREAKING: Police have confirmed they have made contact with the gunman inside Lindt cafe #sydneysiege

'3:56pm: Deputy Commissioner Burn has confirmed that three hostages have made it out of the Lindt Cafe at Martin Place.

In a press conference, she said she did not have any information that any people inside the cafe had been harmed at this stage.

"A peaceful resolution will be what we are working for," she said.'

My husband says newsradio reports it was a negotiated release. Didn't look that way to me.

 

[CARIIS]

hummm

maybe more than one perp police dude just said "At least" one perp ( which IMO is a silly statement - going down from one means zero which is a rule out! )

SKY news

hummm

 

[IHAVENOCLUE]

If the release was not negotiated...

then I wonder if these three escaped from a delivery door...

Perhaps they were in the "stock room" when the event started....

This "woman" is neither - she is following operational protocol. You don't really think they are going to let the world know what they know do you?
