How did the police handle the Sydney hostage situation?
Yes, please tell me more about the police response.
The police response involved establishing a perimeter around the café where the hostages were being held and initiating negotiations with the hostage-taker. The police also brought in a tactical team to respond if necessary. Ultimately, the situation was ended through a tactical assault where the police stormed the café after the hostage-taker began shooting at hostages.
