During the siege, John Jones, the 13-year-old son of the hotel's landlady, was shot in the hip by police crossfire, dying the following day at Wangaratta Hospital. His elder sister, Jane, received a head wound during the siege from a stray bullet, and later died from a lung infection that her mother believed was hastened by the injury, bringing the civilian death toll to four. Another three civilians were wounded by police fire: Charles Rawlins, a volunteer with the police; Michael Reardon, son of the line-repairer who tore up the tracks; and Bridget Reardon, Michael's baby sister. An Aboriginal tracker also had a narrow escape with a bushranger's bullet grazing his forehead. Superintendent Hare retired from the force following the shootout, and, owing to his bullet wound, received an additional allowance of £100 per annum. He was appointed a Police Magistrate.
