The Sydney Siege
It began sometime before 8am Monday morning, when at least one perpetrator took hostages at the Lindt Chocolate Cafe located in Sydney's Martin Place. Witnesses in the area heard loud bangs that sounded like gun shots. Patrick Byrne, a producer at Channel Seven whose newsroom is opposite the cafe, said, “We raced to the window and saw the shocking and chilling sight of people putting their hands up against the panes of glass at the cafe.” Now, the situation is over.
