CNNの記事、'Bloody end to Philippines hostage drama'から。
'Police in the Philippines stormed a bus full of Hong Kong tourists on Monday to end a 10-hour hostage crisis that unfolded live on global television, leaving seven people and the gunman dead.
The gunman, a former police officer who was allegedly demanding his job back after being dismissed for misconduct, had earlier sprayed machine gun fire at the hostages, a police spokesman told CNN.
Another two of the passengers were critically wounded and six were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries after the 10-hour standoff erupted into gunfire, Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang told reporters.
The hostage-taker, former police officer Rolando Mendoza, died of a gunshot wound to the head, police said.
The incident began at 10 a.m. Monday (10 p.m. ET Sunday), when Mendoza -- wearing a uniform and carrying a rifle -- flagged down the tourist bus and asked for a ride, police spokesman Erwin Margarejo told reporters'.
