New 'Bout a half-mile from where I work.
I have friends in closer buildings. So far, two have made their way out of the CBD safely. Another hasn't finished work yet.

Seems to be one lone guy who had a flag that isn't that of ISIL/Da'ish. Cafe is opposite the ground-floor studios of one of our commercial TV stations.

Here's hoping it ends peacefully. It's looking so far, from way over here, like they should be able to wait him out.

It must be a huge disruption for everyone there, not to mention for the people inside the store. :-(

Fingers crossed.
