当地时间6月5日傍晚约4点半左右，澳大利亚墨尔本Brighton区Bay St的一栋酒店式公寓楼发生人质劫持事件，造成包括枪手在内的2名男性死亡。其中，被枪杀的受害者是华人男子，另外有3名警员受伤。被劫持的1名女性人质平安获救。

综合媒体6月6日报道，澳大利亚当地时间6月5日下午4点左右，澳大利亚墨尔本布莱顿区传出三四十声枪响，一名男子劫持了一名女子作为人质并与警方对峙，双方发生激烈枪战。在交火中，歹徒高呼“这是为了ISIS！”

随后，公寓内的居民大多数逃出，警察赶到现场后，在公寓门厅发现一名男性被害者的尸体。

有报道称，警方曾尝试与布莱顿公寓内的歹徒谈判，但谈判未果。武装警察包围了该公寓，并敦促所有人留在室内。下午5时左右，警方封锁了布莱顿公寓附近的交通道路。

A 29-year-old Somalian immigrant was shot dead by police after he killed one man and took a female hostage at a hotel in Brighton, a Melbourne suburb, June 5. He also injured three police officers that responded to the incident.

Yacqub Khayre was identified as the suspect in the horrific ordeal. Khayre had a longstanding criminal record in the country, which included a violent burglary in 2012 in which he was sentenced to over five years in prison. He was also acquitted in a trial where it was alleged that he was plotting a terrorist attack at an Australian army base.

ISIS has reportedly claimed that Khayre was a soldier and carried out the attack in response to appeals that targeted nationals of the coalition countries.
