喪命咖啡店經理熱心助人 父母:我們以他為榮

遭槍手闖入的澳洲雪梨瑞士蓮咖啡店,店經理強森(Tori Johnson)為了拯救大家不幸喪命。消息傳出後,他的父母及長期同性伴侶傷心欲絕。一名澳洲婦女事後特別向媒體表示,她的家人曾經接受過強森的善行相助,希望能透過媒體報導,撫慰強森家人的心情。

辛奇克里夫(Mercedez Hinchcliff)太太表示,她的6歲兒子亨利因為罹患罕見疾病,能進食的食物相當有限,所以從未吃過復活節巧克力蛋,而當強森獲知此事後,立刻請店內師傅特製亨利可以吃的巧克力蛋,招待他們一家人。所以當他們知道強森遭到挾持後,心急如焚,沒想到最後卻聽到如此悲傷的消息。

強森的父親是澳洲知名藝術家肯強森(Ken Johnson),他和離異妻子得知兒子遭挾持後,立刻趕到現場等待消息,沒想到最後卻等到令人崩潰的消息。強森家人強忍悲傷發表聲明:「我們十分以兒子為榮,他雖已不在人世卻永存在我們心中,他是最棒的生活伴侶、兒子及兄弟。」(桂家齊/綜合外電報導)

2人質捨身救人「雪梨心碎」
女律師護孕婦挨子彈 店經理英勇奪槍


【簡竹君╱綜合外電報導】「勇者們,安睡吧!」澳洲雪梨馬丁廣場昨成一片花海,民眾將鮮花、蠟燭和寫滿稱頌勇者的卡片,擺滿前天發生人質挾持事件的咖啡館外。事件中2名人質捨身救人,咖啡館經理強森與槍手奪槍遭射殺;女顧客道森則在槍戰中以身體護住懷孕同事而亡。天主教雪梨樞機主教費希爾說,2人之死「令整個城市為之心碎。」

支持激進組織「伊斯蘭國」(IS)的50歲伊朗裔穆斯林槍手莫尼斯(Man Haron Monis),前天在馬丁廣場「瑞士蓮咖啡館」,持獵槍挾持17名人質,警方昨攻堅將他擊斃,但34歲店經理強森(Tori Johnson),以及和同事來買咖啡的38歲女律師道森(Katrina Dawson)身亡。

槍手打盹多人脫逃

據人質描述,昨凌晨約2時許,距離槍手開始挾持已逾16小時,他累得打起瞌睡,數名人質趁機逃跑,他忽然驚醒,店經理強森衝上前去奪槍,阻止他射殺逃跑人質,搶奪時槍枝擊發,強森中槍倒地。一名人質痛苦描述,歹徒狠揍強森後才給他致命一槍。在咖啡館對面監看的警方狙擊手立即通報:「人質倒下、人質倒下!」

警方說,聽到槍響後立刻決定攻堅,警方先後由正門和側門攻入,咖啡館傳出一陣槍響。和同事一同來買咖啡卻淪為人質的女律師道森,想都沒想就用身體當「人肉盾牌」,護住懷孕的同事,槍林彈雨後槍手遭擊斃,她也中彈身亡,留下3個稚齡的孩子只有8歲、5歲、3歲,再也等不到媽媽回家,而被她保護的同事及腹中寶寶逃過一劫。

經理家屬悲傷驕傲

店經理強森在「瑞士蓮」服務剛滿2年,同事說:「他是很棒的人,很好相處。」朋友說:「他有充滿愛心、溫和仁慈的靈魂,一個真正的紳士。」他的家人發表簡短的聲明,說為他感到萬分驕傲:「他是最美好的人生伴侶、兒子和兄弟,雖離開人世,但永存我們心中。」他有一個交往14年的同性伴侶。

女律師道森在朋友眼中「美麗而聰慧」,就學時功課拔尖,還是辯論隊長、同時涉獵籃球與曲棍球,畢業後也會回學校教授學弟妹出庭技巧。她的父親曾是澳洲最大餅乾公司Arnotts執行長,2個兄弟中1個也是名律師,另1個是麥肯錫諮詢公司董事。她的先生史密斯(Paul Smith)是國際知名金杜律師事務所(Mallesons)的合夥人。

雪梨樞機主教費希爾指強森的犧牲換來警方攻堅,解救其他人質,而道森危急時拿自己1命換2命,他讚頌:「這些英雄寧願自己倒下,讓其他人能好好活著。」

悉尼人質事件3死
店經理搶槍犧牲 女律師護孕婦亡


澳洲悉尼槍手脅持人質事件,在警方攻入咖啡店後流血結束,槍手和其中兩名人質死亡。隨着人質披露被脅持最後30分鐘情況,是咖啡店經理趁槍手打瞌睡時嘗試搶槍保護其他人質被擊斃,觸發警方強攻,一名女人質更以身軀保護懷孕女同事,不幸身亡。澳洲人都形容這兩名遇害人質是英雄,紛紛為他們英勇行徑落淚。

澳洲警方昨天(周二)清晨確認,人質事件的三名死者,分別是50歲槍手莫尼斯(Man Haron Monis)、瑞士蓮朱古力咖啡店的34歲經理約翰遜(Tori Johnson)及38歲女大律師道森(Katrina Dawson),另有三名女人質中槍,情況穩定,一名警員駁火時面部受輕傷,兩名懷孕女人質接受觀察。

莫尼斯前天早上9時45分手持霰彈槍,在咖啡店脅持17名人質,其中5名人質在午間逃脫。警方在咖啡店對面的第7頻道電視台直播室,部署狙擊手,記者里森獲准在狙擊手旁觀察。

趁槍手打瞌睡發難

里森表示莫尼斯昨天凌晨1時50分,逼眾人質調位,「槍手看來很焦慮不安,不知如何處理他們,把人質調到一邊後,又要他們去另一邊,之後胡亂調來調去」,最後一班人質調到一邊,另一班人質留在另一邊。

當時莫尼斯脅持人質超過16小時後,在凌晨2時左右開始支撐不住打瞌睡,被他留在另外一邊的人質見機不可失,先後6人逃脫,莫尼斯發現人質逃走,動殺機開槍,約翰遜嘗試搶槍,讓其他人質有機會逃走,跟他糾纏間中槍。

里森指,身旁的狙擊手看到約翰遜中槍後,馬上用無線電通知上司:「二號櫥窗有人質倒下。」警方不足一分鐘後隨即前後夾攻咖啡店,8名配備夜視鏡、霰彈槍和M4卡賓槍的特警攻向前門,另外4、5名警察攻向後門。警察打碎玻璃門後,向咖啡店內擲曳光彈,經過34秒密集槍聲後,是一輪寂靜和女人求救聲,跟着再有多輪槍聲,相信是警員從後門進入時先以開槍開路,之後把剩下人質救出。

警擲曳光彈 槍戰34秒

警方在咖啡店內發現莫尼斯和約翰遜的屍體,道森在駁火時用身軀擋着懷孕女同事兼好友泰勒(Julie Taylor),泰勒避過一劫,事後被救護員用擔架抬離現場,道森則在送院途中心臟病發死亡。警方亦派出拆彈機械人搜索,但沒有發現炸彈。

新南威爾斯省警察總長西皮奧尼表示,兩名人質是被莫尼斯槍殺還是駁火時中彈,仍需調查。他指警方決定攻入咖啡店,是因為聽到咖啡店內傳出槍聲,「他們作出這決定,是因為當時相信如不攻入,就會有更多人命損失」。

現場附近的聖母主教座堂,昨晨舉行悼念禮拜,大主教費希爾說「我城為兩名無辜人質之死心碎」,但同時讚揚兩人的義舉:「這些英雄願意犧牲自己的生命,來讓其他人活下去。」瑞士蓮表示對死傷者和人質遭遇悲痛欲絕。

Gay Cafe Manager Killed Protecting Hostages During Sydney Siege

December 16, 2014 ● by Dan Avery

Tori Johnson was in a long-term relationship with his boyfriend of 14 years.

Tori Johnson, 34, was killed saving lives during the hostage crisis at a Sydney cafe on Monday.

Johnson, manager of the Lindt Chocolate Cafe, died when he tried to wrestle away the shotgun from attacker Man Haron Monis. “This action almost certainly saved many lives,” said Don Baxter of the Australian Federation of AIDS Organizations.

The staff of the Sydney cafe involved in the terrorist siege have penned a touching note for their manager and hero Tori Johnson reminding the world of his bravery.
Mr Johnson, 34, died during a heroic final stand-off on Tuesday morning when he was shot trying to wrestle a gun from Islamic extremist Man Haron Monis inside the Lindt cafe.

His employees left a handwritten note, a bouquet of flowers and Lindt chocolates among the thousands of tributes that have now taken over Martin Place.
'Tori, you always had time for us long before you came to Lindt,' the note began.

'Always smiling, always friendly. The decision to join the Lindt team will always be cherished by all – because you were not just a manager, you were family.

'There will be a hole in the Lindt family now that your gone. Not a day will go past where we don’t think of you.

'Your bravery will forever be remembered, by us and the world. May you rest in peace. Tori, our brother and hero.'

A single bunch of white roses left resting on a pole when the siege ended at 2.15am on Tuesday has sparked the beginning of a makeshift shrine that has now grown to take over a large portion of Martin Place.

Thousands of people continue to flock to the area more than 24 hours later to pay tribute to the victims, including Mr Johnson and mother of three Katrina Dawson who were both killed after being held hostage for more than 16 hours.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott, NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione, Premier Mike Baird and Australia's Governor General Sir Peter Cosgrove travelled to the site to pay their respects to those who had lost their lives and the 15 other hostages who were terrorised by Man Haron Monis.

The parents of Mr Johnson, Ken and Rosemary, released a statement on Tuesday honouring their 'beautiful boy'.

'We are so proud of our beautiful boy Tori, gone from this earth but forever in our memories as the most amazing life partner, son and brother we could ever wish for,' they said.

People of all faiths have been leaving tributes, with many saying Tori and Katrina were 'brave Australians'

'We'd like to thank not only our friends and loved ones for their support, but the people of Sydney; Australia and those around the world for reaching out with their thoughts and prayers.'

They also expressed their sorrow for the family of Katrina Dawson who also died.

Ms Dawson, who leaves behind her husband Paul and their children, Chloe, Sasha and Olive, was having a coffee with a pregnant colleague when the siege unfolded.


Workers laid flowers and notes early on Wednesday morning, more than 24 hours after the siege ended

One of the pregnant women in the cafe at the time, Julie Taylor, was also a colleague of Ms Dawson and had to be treated in hospital following the ordeal.

Lawyer Stefan Balafoutis was one of the first three men to escape the cafe about 3.45pm. He works in the 10th Floor Selborne/Wentworth Chambers, which is directly above Lindt.

Dressed in a bright blue blazer, 83-year-old John O’Brian, was the first out of the cafe when he escaped with Mr Balafoutis.

Marcia Mikhail, 42, was among those hostages forced to record a chilling video message listing the hostage-taker's demands. She was carried out of the cafe by two emergency services workers with blood running down her leg and is still recovering in hospital.

Harriett Denny, a fellow employee, ran from the cafe with five other hostages shortly before police issued their gunfire assault. The 30-year-old's father who lives in Queensland was forced to watch the horrific incident unfold on TV.

Viswakanth Ankireddy, a software engineer at tech giant Infosys, was working for Westpac in Martin Place when he was caught up in the siege. His Westpac colleague, Puspendu Ghosh, also escaped the siege unharmed.
