Two confirmed dead and one is the gunman. One hostage appears to have a gunshot wound to shoulder. Looks like about two or three hostages were still inside at time of all the firing.
Hostage taker was on bail for case involving over 40 sexual assault offences arising from his work as a "healer".
Came from Iran as a refugee in late 90's.
A real piece of work and as commentator said hard to negotiate with this type of character. Just my own thought but suspect he knew the upcoming sexual assault cases would be the end of his role as a Sheihk or healer. Lone wolf type who ran out of options and was heading down a certain path.
Police knew his background and no option but to go in when they did.
With that final post it is time to go to bed.
Been watching live coverage but police entry no doubt online all over the place.
