Sydney siege: Video shows moment police stormed cafe

The Sydney cafe siege has ended after armed police stormed the building amid the sound of gunfire.

Unconfirmed reports say gunman Man Haron Monis was killed by police.

Monis was already known by the Australian authorities and faced a number of charges prior to today’s siege.

Several hostages escaped before the building was stormed but it is currently unclear how many casualties there was.

People across Australia and further afield have pulled together with an online campaign to show their support.
