I found this really moving:

Interview with Kathryn Chee, employee at the cafe. It's a puff piece but gosh.

Pretty sure it's over now, with at least 1 death. The person receiving CPR may make it, but doesn't look good.

No great insight, just sadness that this happened

[Platypus]

NSW Police confirm siege over; media reports say two dead, and also a police officer received a bullet wound in the head (not sure if that was one of the deaths).

[Platypus]

Reports firming now that it's 2 dead, 3 seriously injured; Police to make a statement at 3:15am local time (20 minutes from now).

[Platypus]

Dead being reported as gunman Man Haron Monis and one hostage.

[Platypus]

ABC being responsible and not reporting it, but it's coming from multiple other sources now that the dead are indeed Monis and a hostage.

Also I made the mistake of watching the videos of the hostages discussing the demands of Monis. They're floating around, I recommend not watching them.
